Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth
I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.
Though our feelings come and go, God's love for us does not.
The Catholic ideal is to order the whole of life towards unity, not by the denial and destruction of the natural human values, but by bringing them into living relation with spiritual truth and spiritual reality.
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.
I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around. I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.
Christians have burned each other, quite persuaded That all the apostles would have done as they did.
God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man.
The lust of the flesh directs these desires [of personal union], however, to satisfaction of the body, often at the cost of a real and full communion of persons.
You will achieve definitive self-fulfilment only in the next life.
Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can defeat you. Believe that you now receive power from Him.
