. . . speak Thou, O Lord, who didst inspire and illuminate all the prophets; - Thomas à Kempis

We ought daily to renew our vows, and to kindle our hearts to zeal, as if each day were the first day of our conversion, and to say, “Help me, O God, in my good resolutions, and in Thy holy service, and grant that this day I may make a good beginning, for hitherto I have done nothing!”

A passionate man turneth even good into evil and easily believeth evil; a good, peaceable man converteth all things into good.

Certe adveniente die judicii, non quæretur a nobis quid legimus, sed quid fecimus; nec quam bene diximus, sed quam religiose viximus.
