Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

We must not be wise and prudent according to the flesh. Rather, we must be simple, humble and pure.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

We should never desire to be over others. Instead, we ought to be servants who are submissive to every human being for God's sake.

From Francis of Assisi

Where there is injury let me sow pardon.

From Francis of Assisi

Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these, they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.

From Francis of Assisi

If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

From Francis of Assisi

Great and glorious God, and Thou Lord Jesus, I pray you shed abroad your light in the darkness of my mind. Be found of me, Lord, so that in all things I may act only in accordance with Thy holy will.

From Francis of Assisi

It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.

From Francis of Assisi

The Father willed that his blessed and glorious Son, whom he gave to us and who was born for us, should through his own blood offer himself as a sacrificial victim on the altar of the cross. This was to be done not for himself through whom all things were made, but for our sins.
