Supreme resources spring from extreme resolutions. To embark in death is sometimes the means of escaping a shipwreck; and the lid of the coffin becomes a plank of safety.

The devil may visit us, but God lives here.

I cannot say enough of appreciation for your determination to live by the standards of the Church, to walk with the strength of virtue, to keep your minds above the slough of filth which seems to be moving like a flood across the world. Thank you for knowing there is a better way. Thank you for the will to say no. Thank you for the strength to deny temptation and look beyond and above to the shining light of your eternal potential.

There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.

Man is always the master, even in his weaker and most abandoned state; but in his weakness and degradation he is the foolish master who misgoverns his household.

Renew your resolution daily, and in the hour of temptation do not depart from the right path.

Bait, no matter how big, is useless if fish do not desire it.

A slap from an angel will make you wiserthan a kiss from the devil.

God never tempts any man. That is Satan's business.

Only the man who says no is free

Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man

Every man prefers virtue, when there is not some strong incitement to transgress its precepts.
