Catherine of Siena
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”
St. Catherine of Siena

Abraham Joshua Heschel
“It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion--its message becomes meaningless.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism

O. Henry
“Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.”
O. Henry, The Gift of the Magi

W. Somerset Maugham
“Remember that it is nothing to do your duty, that is demanded of you and is no more meritorious than to wash your hands when they are dirty; the only thing that counts is the love of duty; when love and duty are one, then grace is in you and you will enjoy a happiness which passes all understanding.”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil

Jonathan Swift
“We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.”
Jonathan Swift
