The best thing about me is you.

When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams."

Dr Seuss

What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate, that you don't need love when you do or that you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.

Doris Lessing
1919-, British Novelist

Saint Patrick

Before I was humiliated I was like a stone that lies in deep mud, and he who is mighty came and in his compassion raised me up and exalted me very high and placed me on the top of the wall.
Saint Patrick

Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.
Saint Patrick

I am Patrick, a sinner, most uncultivated and least of all the faithful and despised in the eyes of many.
Saint Patrick

If I be worthy, I live for my God to teach the heathen, even though they may despise me.
Saint Patrick

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on me.
Saint Patrick

No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God.
Saint Patrick

That which I have set out in Latin is not my words but the words of God and of apostles and prophets, who of course have never lied. He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken.
Saint Patrick

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.
Saint Patrick

Saint Bernard

I believe though I do not comprehend, and I hold by faith what I cannot grasp with the mind.

There is only one happiness in life -- to love and to be loved.

Teach us to give and not to count the cost.
Saint Ignatius

The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness.

True, I am in love with suffering, but I do not know if I deserve the honor.
Saint Ignatius

We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.
Saint Ignatius

Human Love... It is that extra creation that stands hurt and baffled at the place of death. Being human, wanting children and sunlight and breath to go on, forever.

We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.
