All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

There is absolutely no man in the whole world who can possess one among you unless he first die.

St. Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden when someone asked what he would do if he were suddenly to learn that he would die before sunset that very day. "I would finish hoeing my garden," he replied.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Sanctify yourself and you will sanctify society.

Be Thou praised, my Lord, of our Sister Mother Earth, which sustains and hath us in rule, and produces divers fruits with coloured flowers and herbs.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
