campaigning weather for the devil
The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged adversity are excellent campaigning weather for the devil. C. S. Lewis
Miracles are not contrary to nature
Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature. Saint Augustine
Pray and work
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you. Saint Augustine
we belong to each other
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. Mother Teresa
Two kinds of people
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.' C. S. Lewis
The end of life
The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him. Socrates
Take only what you need
Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others. Saint Augustine
As we are, such are the times
If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times. Saint Augustine
Charity and wisdom
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Francis of Assisi
Passion
Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man's wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act. Saint Augustine
God dispenses beauty even to the wicked
Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked. Saint Augustine
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again. Saint Augustine
A drop in the ocean
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. Mother Teresa
Raise funds of love
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given. Mother Teresa
Meaning of the universe
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning. C. S. Lewis
You must go through the experiences
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences. Saint Augustine
Don't bother about originality
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. C. S. Lewis
Selective faith
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Saint Augustine
Pride of wealth
If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it. Socrates
In the absence of justice
In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery? Saint Augustine
How to find God
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa
The cause makes the martyr
It is not the punishment but the cause that makes the martyr. Saint Augustine
Come unto me all ye that labor
I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden. Saint Augustine
Miracles
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see. C. S. Lewis
There is God
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is. Albert Camus
Education without values
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. C. S. Lewis
Forgive those who hurt you
One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him. Socrates
Even the rich are hungry for love
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own. Mother Teresa
Our walking is our preaching
It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Francis of Assisi
Prayer does not change God
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays. Soren Kierkegaard
Make me an instrument of thy peace
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Francis of Assisi
Touch the dying
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work. Mother Teresa
Importance of Christianity
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. C. S. Lewis
False words
False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil. Socrates
Improve yourself by other men's writings
Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for. Socrates
Faith
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. Saint Augustine
The gift of overcoming self
Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self. Francis of Assisi
The souls of the righteous are immortal and divine
All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine. Socrates
We do it to God
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible. Mother Teresa
Man cannot diminish God's glory
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell. C. S. Lewis
You can't get a cup of tea big enough
You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me. C. S. Lewis
Perfection of a man
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections. Saint Augustine
Nonsense questions
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. C. S. Lewis
The desire is thy prayers
The desire is thy prayers; and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer. Saint Augustine
The beginning of good works
The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works. Saint Augustine
Suffering of God's son
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering. Saint Augustine
All things unholy
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone. Francis of Assisi
unwanted, unloved
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. Mother Teresa
Believe that you may understand
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand. Saint Augustine
Progress
We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive. C. S. Lewis
The future
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. C. S. Lewis
Fear vs reverence
Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence. Socrates
Seeking without that wert within
I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within. Saint Augustine
Man is a great depth
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart. Saint Augustine
Words too big for the subject
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. C. S. Lewis
He that is evil is a slave
He that is kind is free, though he is a slave; he that is evil is a slave, though he be a king. Saint Augustine
Concerns of animal life
We are certainly in a common class with the beasts; every action of animal life is concerned with seeking bodily pleasure and avoiding pain. Saint Augustine
Scatter there Thy cheerful beams
O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams. Saint Augustine
Have peace fully in your heart
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart. Francis of Assisi
In season at all times
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Mother Teresa
Aim at heaven
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. C. S. Lewis
We must be hatched
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad. C. S. Lewis
Affection
Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives. C. S. Lewis
Humility, the foundation
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance. Saint Augustine
meet with a smile
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. Mother Teresa
Courage
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. C. S. Lewis
Our life of poverty
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them. Mother Teresa
Truth
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair. C. S. Lewis
Our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee. Saint Augustine
The richest
He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature. Socrates
Preach the Gospel at all times
Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words. Francis of Assisi
Do not serve with a gloomy face
It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look. Francis of Assisi
The safest road to hell
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C. S. Lewis
The real problem
The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not. C. S. Lewis
Money is not enough
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go. Mother Teresa
if you love until it hurts
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. Mother Teresa
God judged it better
God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist. Saint Augustine
Man lives as to make happiness impossible
Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. Saint Augustine
Be faithful in small things
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. Mother Teresa
People of worth
Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live. Socrates
Spread love everywhere
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. Mother Teresa
Men should wonder at themselves
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering. Saint Augustine
I willingly cure him for the love of God
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God. Mother Teresa
What does love look like?
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like. Saint Augustine
I feel angry when I see waste
There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use. Mother Teresa
Belief in Christianity
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
Worth of the bible
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education. Theodore Roosevelt
The wisest man alive
I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing. Socrates
Seek to love, not to be loved
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love. Francis of Assisi
Pride of a false knowledge
Don't be proud of a false knowledge that there is no God when you are not God. Felix Dordaa Mahama
Judging disputes
If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend. Saint Augustine
Necessary to possible to impossible
Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. Francis of Assisi
Pride
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels. Saint Augustine
The shelter of compassion and pity
If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. Francis of Assisi
The hunger for love
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. Mother Teresa
A man of courage
He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy. Socrates
Destroyer of peace
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between. Mother Teresa
God is happiness and peace
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. C. S. Lewis
He will not save us without our consent
He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent. Saint Augustine
True wisdom
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. Socrates
Lay first the foundation of humility
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility. Saint Augustine
Forsaken by sin
To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it. Saint Augustine
