Jesus promised his disciples three things—that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.

G. K. Chesterton (Writer, 1874 – 1936)

The problem of disbelieving in God is not that a man ends up believing nothing. Alas, it is much worse. He ends up believing anything.

G. K. Chesterton (Writer, 1874 – 1936)

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith – means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

G. K. Chesterton (Writer, 1874 – 1936)

Our determination to imitate Christ should be such that we have no time for other matters.

Desiderius Erasmus (Theologian, 1466 – 1536)

It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.

Girolamo Savonarola (Dominican Monk, 1457 – 1498)

Lord! teach me the way my soul should walk.

Girolamo Savonarola (Dominican Monk, 1457 – 1498)

God is the best helper, but He loves to be helped. Be earnest in prayer, but do not neglect human means. You must help yourself in all manner of ways, and then the Lord will be with you.

Girolamo Savonarola (Dominican Monk, 1457 – 1498)

The whole world knows that His glory has not been spread by force and weapons, but by poor fishermen.

Girolamo Savonarola (Dominican Monk, 1452 – 1498)

Do you wish to be free? Then above all things, love God, love your neighbor, love one another, love the common weal; then you will have true liberty.

Girolamo Savonarola (Dominican Monk, 1452 – 1498)

When the Christians, upon these occasions, received martyrdom, they were ornamented, and crowned with garlands of flowers; for which they, in heaven, received eternal crowns of glory.
