“Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!” — Thomas a Kempis

Occasions do not make a man either strong or weak but they show what he is.

Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.

But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.

Bear the Cross cheerfully and it will bear you.
