For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.
Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace Where there is hatred let me sow love Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith Where there is despair, hope Where there is darkness, light Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console to be understood as to understand to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
People who work with their hands are laborers. People who work with their hands and their heads are craftsmen. People who work with their hands, their heads, and their hearts are artists
Preach the gospel at all times -- If necessary, use words.
Start by doing what's necessary then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith.
