“You heard me, only Friend whom I love. To ravish my heart, you became man. You shed your blood, what a supreme mystery!… And you still live for me on the Altar. If I cannot see the brilliance of your Face Or hear your sweet voice, O my God, I can live by your grace, I can rest on your Sacred Heart!” St. Therese of Lisieux

“The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.” William Wordsworth

“But no matter how high in the clouds this arrow of pride may fly, and no matter how exuberant one may feel while being carried up so high, let us remember that the lightest of these arrows still has a heavy iron head. High as it may fly, therefore, it inevitably has to come down and hit the ground. And sometimes it lands in a not very clean place.” St. Thomas More

“Don’t think there are no crocodiles because the water is calm.” Malayan proverb
