St. Cyril of Jerusalem

"No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hetacombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we are ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?"

St. Maximilian Kolbe.

"Natural science does not consist in ratifying what others have said, but in seeking the causes of phenomena."

You're the second person to say that.

St. Albertus Magnus

"A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love. "

And I'm sure I won't be the last .

Saint Basil

It is better to say one Our Father fervently and devoutly than a thousand with no devotion and full of distraction.

St. Edmund

"The Rosary is the most divine of prayers after the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass."

St. Charles of Borromeo

He alone loves the Creator perfectly who manifests a pure love for his neighbor.

St. Bede the Venerable!

"I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us. I would like an abundance of peace. I would like full vessels of charity. I would like rich treasures of mercy. I would like cheerfulness to preside over all. I would like Jesus to be present. I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us. I would like the friends of Heaven to be gathered around us from all parts. I would like myself to be a rent payer to the Lord; that I should suffer distress, that he would bestow a good blessing upon me. I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings. I would like to be watching Heaven's family drinking it through all eternity."

St. Brigid! I totally already did that one in post #8 ! Just as a fun fact, she's my conformation Saint, that's why she's in my avatar.

The devil strains every nerve to secure the souls which belong to Christ. We should not grudge our toil in wresting them from Satan and giving them back to God.

St. Sebastian!

"Those whose hearts are pure are temples of the Holy Spirit."

St Clare of Assisi

"Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to Heaven."

That Saint was a Pope! Pope St. Pius X to be exact

"Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation."

Saint Augustine duh!

"It is a great consolation to surrender ourselves wholly to God and to know that he sees and penetrates to the very secret of our hearts."

St. Jane Frances De Chantal

"If we wish to keep peace with our neighbor, we should never remind anyone of his natural defects"

^^St. Philip Neri

"The demons rejoice in this frantic waving..."

(This quote is referring to doing the sign of the cross really quickly and carelessly)

St John Chrysostom

“Jesus deigned to teach me this mystery. He set before me the book of nature;
I understood how all the flowers He has created are beautiful,
how the splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the Lily do not take away the perfume of the little violet
or the delightful simplicity of the daisy.
I understood that if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty,
and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wild flowers.
And so it is in the world of souls, Jesus’ garden. He willed to create great souls comparable to Lilies and roses,
but He has created smaller ones and these must be content to be daisies or violets
destined to give joy to God’s glances when he looks down at His feet.

Perfection consists in doing His will, in being what he wills us to be.”

St. Théareèse of Lisieux

"Be good Christians, or your journey will serve you no good purpose. Only by good example can you change the world."

St. Padre Pio =)

"Teach us to give and not to count the cost. "

Saint Ignatius of Loyola!

edit: that was such a good quote, I relized that I have already used it in this thread

"Arm yourself with prayer rather than a sword; wear humility rather than fine clothes."

St. Dominic! (He has his own Order! )

"How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers." (This one is easy )

Yes, an order I'm considering joining when I grow older!


This is Mother Teresa! A very wise woman.

"A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love."

"Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will pull love out."

^^^ St. John of the Cross

"Love God, serve God: everything is in that"

St Claire of Assisi (St Francis' good friend). I was fortunate enough to view her uncorrupted body in Assisi in 2007.

"One day of humble self-knowledge is a greater grace from the Lord, although it may have cost us many afflictions and trials, than many days of prayer."

"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God"

Saint Paul.

"If I judge people, I have no time to love them."
