The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

We have been given God in our souls and Christ in our flesh. We have the power to believe where others deny, to hope where others despair, to love where others hurt.

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.

It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.

I think it's time that we all be there for the children, to learn from the ones who came before us, and to teach our sons and daughters to have respect for themselves.

In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.

We, of our time, have played our part in the perseverance, and we have pledged ourselves to the dead generations who have preserved intact for us this glorious heritage, that we, too, will strive to be faithful to the end, and pass on this tradition unblemished.

We let ourselves be molded and transformed by Christ and continually pass from the side of one who destroys to that of the one who saves.
