“Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look at formulas and easy answers. Begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience…”

"We have attempted to reduce all virtues to kindness. Plato rightly taught that virtue is one. You cannot be kind unless you have all the other virtues. Every vice leads to cruelty. Even a good emotion, pity, if not controlled by charity & justice, leads to anger & cruelty." CSL

"Moral choice precedes and determines intellectual orientation. [Most] people do not think themselves into the way they act but act themselves into the way they think. Ethical decision, more often than misguided reason, lies at the heart of error."

[Elise Harboldt @EliseHarboldt]

Every person who wrongs us is a brother who fell into the hands of the worker of evil. When we challenge this brother, we must feel great sorrow for him and beseech God to have mercy on our brother who became a victim of the devil. God will help us as well as him.

"I can stop worrying about being a great saint. What I can start doing is saying, 'Let's get on with this day.' I have to do laundry. Here's this Girl Scout and I need to buy her cookies. Here's a person who doesn't realize he has a loving Father. I can tell him." -Rich Mullins
