“The word in your mouth is like the stone in the sling, once released you will not be able to take it back. If your word will not reach its target, do not throw it because it will hurt. Inappropriate words will surely cause harm. Avoid using ambiguous language and only choose the word that has only one explanation. Be a good example instead of only giving good advice.” St. Charbel
“True charity consists in bearing all our neighbor’s defects – not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.” St. Therese of Lisieux
“When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it – don’t back down and don’t give up – then you’re going to mystify a lot of folks.”

“Now that I am about to appear before God, I understand very clearly that one thing only is necessary: to work for Him alone, and not for oneself or for others.” St. Therese of Lisieux
“At times I’ve got a really big ego. But I’ll tell you the best thing about me. I’m some guy’s dad; I’m some little gal’s dad. When I die, if they say I was Annie’s husband and Zachary John and Anna Kate’s father, boy, that’s enough for me to be remembered by. That’s more than enough.” John Denver
“I learned from experience that joy does not reside in the things about us, but in the very depths of the soul, that one can have it in the gloom of a dungeon as well as in the palace of a king.” St. Therese of Lisieux
“We have only short moments of this life to work for God’s glory. The devil knows this and that is why he tries to make us waste time in useless things. O, let us not waste our time! Let us save souls!” St. Therese of Lisieux
