Wisdom of the Saints A most excellent means of learning how to pray, is to acknowledge ourselves unworthy of such a benefit, and to put ourselves entirely into the hands of the Lord. St. Philip Neri If I had to advise parents, I should tell them to take great care about the people with whom their children associate . . . Much harm may result from bad company, and we are inclined by nature to follow what is worse than what is better. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton A single act of resignation to the divine will in what it ordains contrary to our desires, is of more value than a hundred thousand successes conformable to our will and taste. St. Vincent de Paul So live, therefore, that you may not fear the end of life. St. Honoratus of Arles To acquire courage it is very useful to read the lives of the saints, especially of those who, after living in sin, attained great sanctity. St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori I recommend to you simplicity, purity of intention, and practical examen on this virtue; mark well that, in order to labor for the glory of God, our soul must be free and detached from all things, with God alone in view. St. Paul of the Cross
