Thomas Aquinas
“Mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution; justice without mercy is cruelty.”
Thomas Aquinas

Fulton J. Sheen
“Look at your heart! It tells the story of why you were made. It is not perfect in shape and contour, like a Valentine Heart. There seems to be a small piece missing out of the side of every human heart. That may be to symbolize a piece that was torn out of the Heart of Christ which embraced all humanity on the Cross. But I think the real meaning is that when God made your human heart, He found it so good and so lovable that He kept a small sample of it in heaven. He sent the rest of it into this world to enjoy His gifts, and to use them as stepping stones back to Him, but to be ever mindful that you can never love anything in this world with your whole heart because you have not a whole heart with which to love. In order to love anyone with your whole heart, in order to be really peaceful, in order to be really wholehearted, you must go back again to God to recover the piece He has been keeping for you from all eternity.”
Fulton J. Sheen, Finding True Happiness

G.E.M. Anscombe
“Those who try to make room for sex as mere casual enjoyment pay the penalty: they become shallow. At any rate the talk that reflects and commends this attitude is always shallow. They dishonour their own bodies; holding cheap what is naturally connected with the origination of human life.”
G.E.M. Anscombe, Faith in a Hard Ground: Essays on Religion, Philosophy and Ethics
tags: p-208

Peter Kreeft
“One moment of prayer, of weak worship, confused contrition, tepid thanksgiving, or pitiful petition will bring us closer to God than all the books of theology in the world.”
Peter Kreeft, Prayer for Beginners

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Let us remember that a traitor may betray himself and do good that he does not intend. It can be so, sometimes.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
