Pio of PietrelcinaThe devil is like a rabid dog tied to a chain; beyond the length of the chain he cannot seize anyone. And you: keep at a distance. If you approach too near, you let yourself be caught. Remember that the devil has only one door by which to enter the soul: the will.
Pio of PietrelcinaPeace is the simplicity of heart, serenity of mind, tranquility of soul, the bond of love.
