Saint Quote: Saint Patrick of Ireland

That which I have set out in Latin is not my words but the words of God and of apostles and prophets, who of course have never lied. He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken.

-- Saint Patrick of Ireland

The world would have peace if only men of politics would follow the Gospels.

Saint Quote: Saint Claude de la Colombiere

To prefer man to God: A strange and unhappy slavery is that of a man who seeks to please other men. I vow never to do anything nor to leave anything undone because of what people think. This will set up in me a great interior peace.

-- Saint Claude de la Colombiere

Saint Quote: Saint Saint Cyprian of Carthage

These days no one thinks of the fears that the future holds. No one takes to heart the day of judgment, and the wrath of God. The punishments to come to unbelievers, and the eternal torments decreed for the faithless. If only they believed, they would heed, and if they took heed, they would escape.

-- Saint Cyprian of Carthage

Saint Quote: Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Mother Teresa of Calcutta receiving Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan in 1985

It is a great poverty that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.

-- Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Saint Quote: Saint Isidore of Seville

In reading we aim at knowing, but we must put into practice what we have learned in our course of study. The more you devote yourself to study of the sacred utterances, the richer will be your understanding of them, just as the more the soil is tilled, the richer the harvest. The man who is slow to grasp things but who really tries hard is rewarded, equally he who does not cultivate his God-given intellectual ability is condemned for despising his gifts and sinning by sloth.

-- Saint Isidore of Seville
