The mere change of custom, even though it may be of advantage in some respects, unsettles men by reason of the novelty: therefore, if it brings no advantage, it does much harm by unprofitably disturbing the Church.

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

What is time? If I am not asked, I know; if I am asked, I don't.

To seek the greatest good is to live well, and to live well is nothing other than to love God with the whole heart, the whole soul, and the whole mind: It is therefore obvious that this love must be kept whole and uncorrupt, that is temperance; it should not be overcome with difficulties, that is fortitude, it must not be subservient to anything else, that is justice; it must discriminate among things so as not to be deceived by falsity or fraud, that is prudence.

Lord Jesus, don't let me lie when I say that I love you.....and protect me, for today I could betray you.

One never errs more safely than when one errs by too much loving the truth.
