I am urging Americans to be more careful about the kinds of media we support with our consumer spending. We've got to invest less in the media that glorifies violence and more in entertainment that lifts up the values of love, compassion, and the best in human nature.

Virginity can be lost by a thought.

Virtue is akin to holiness, an attribute of godliness.

For me, the Immaculate Conception is the feast of 'passive action,' the action that functions simply by the transmission through us of divine energy. Purity, in spite of outward appearances, is essentially an active virtue, because it concentrates God in us and on those who are subject to our influence.

A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue.

When the norm is decency, other virtues can thrive: integrity, honesty, compassion, kindness, and trust.

Be virtuous in thought and in deed. God has planted in you, for a purpose, a divine urge which may be easily subverted to evil and destructive ends.

If we seek things that are virtuous and lovely, we surely will find them. Conversely, if we seek for evil, we will find that also.

When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.

a person could walk around in a prison of his or her own making and never be behind bars.

Worship puts God in focus. When the Almighty is in view, our giant's power over our thinking begins to flicker and fade.

Don't give the Enemy a seat. Don't entertain his ideas. These thoughts are not from a good and trustworthy Shepherd. Move on.
