You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.

Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don’ look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you can do everything.

Preach the Truth as if you had a million voices. It is silence that kills the world.

The admission fee was a viper's tongue and a half-concealed stiletto. It was a sort of intellectual slaughterhouse.

There are those without decency who must be fought without hesitation, without pity.

Dread more the blunderer's friendship than the calumniator's enmity.

I think the first sign of friendship is a manifestation of how you separate from your parents and try to find a new family on your own. It's the first sign of growing.
