Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304 Most Christians are affected far more than they know by the standards and methods of the surrounding world. In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.

Forgiveness is the final form of love.

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

Lay this unto your breast: Old friends, like old swords, still are trusted best.

The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.

We don't believe in rheumatism and true love until after the first attack.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

Sometimes, you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and what you want to be.

Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.

People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad.
