― J.R.R. Tolkien

“God does not want to control you, or stifle you, or manipulate you, or force you to do anything you don't want to do. Quite the opposite. God will let you do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it, with whomever you want to do it, and as often as you want to do it. When was the last time God stopped you from doing anything?”
― Matthew Kelly, The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. Hope is one of those things that you can't buy, but that will be freely given to you if you ask. Hope is the one thing people cannot live without. Hope is a thing of beauty.”
― Matthew Kelly, Rediscovering Catholicism: Journeying Toward Our Spiritual North Star

“We can never get enough of what we don't really need.”
― Matthew Kelly, The Seven Levels of Intimacy: The Art of Loving and the Joy of Being Loved
