Quotations
Jesus Christ
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
Evil men sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden. Their roots wrap round the stones and hold fast to every rock.
He who knows how to suffer will enjoy much peace, and he is a conqueror of himself, the lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and an heir of Heaven.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
He who is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
