Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Francis of Assisi
“Nor did demons crucify Him; it is you who have crucified Him and crucify Him still, when you delight in your vices and sins. ”
St. Francis of Assisi

Thomas Merton
“A man knows when he has found his vocation when he stops thinking about how to live and begins to live.”
Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton
“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image.”
Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton
“Many poets are not poets for the same reason that many religious men are not saints: they never succeed in being themselves. They never get around to being the particular poet or the particular monk they are intended to be by God. They never become the man or the artist who is called for by all the circumstances of their individual lives. They waste their years in vain efforts to be some other poet, some other saint...They wear out their minds and bodies in a hopeless endeavor to have somebody else's experiences or write somebody else's poems.”
Thomas Merton
