Believe in God like you believe in the sunrise. Not because you can see it, but because you can see all it touches.

Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.

You can't go against the grain of the universe and not expect to get splinters.

God is love, and that love works through men-especially through the whole community of Christians.

Monarchy can easily be "debunked," but watch the faces, mark well the debunkers. These are the men whose taproot in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film stars instead: For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.

Other than heaven, the only place where one's heart is completely safe from the dangers of love is hell.

But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want; they do not always like it.
