Grace

“At the least, bear patiently, if thou canst not joyfully. And although thou be very unwilling to hear it, and feel indignation, yet check thyself, and suffer no unadvised word to come forth from thy lips, whereby the little ones may be offended. Soon the storm which hath been raised shall be stilled, and inward grief shall be sweetened by returning grace.”
― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

“There is nothing new under the sun but that of the Son. Man's rebellion against God has always been because he would rather fall in pride than rise in humility.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“The purest regret, no matter what, is thinking you didn't love enough.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“Sometimes a people lose their right to remain silent when pressured to remain silent.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy
