Oh what remorse we shall feel at the end of our lives, when we look back upon the great number of instructions and examples afforded by God and the Saints for our perfection, and so carelessly received by us! If this end were to come to you today, how would you be pleased with the life you have led this year?
Saint Francis de SalesFor every great temptation there will be many small ones. Wolves and bears are more dangerous than flies, but we are bothered most by flies.
