“God is more pleased by one work, however small, done secretly, without desire that it be known, than a thousand done with the desire that people know of them. Those who work for God with purest love not only care nothing about whether others see their works, but do not even seek that God himself know of them.” St. John of the Cross

“It is easy to love the people far away.  It is not always easy to love those close to us.  Bring love into your home, for this is where our love for each other must start.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“If ever you have a fit of sadness or trouble, remember that it is because you are still attached to life, or health, or some comfort, or person, or thing that you ought to forget and despise that you may desire Jesus Christ only.” ~Saint Claude de la Colombiere

“How many souls we may convert by our prayers! There are some among them for whom one Pater and Ave [Our Father and Hail Mary] would be enough to turn the scale.” St. John Vianney

“Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.”  Teddy Roosevelt
