“The creator of the heavens obeys a carpenter;
the God of eternal glory listens to a poor virgin.
Has anyone ever witnessed anything comparable to this?
Let the philosopher no longer disdain from listening
to the common labourer;
the wise, to the simple;
the educated, to the illiterate;
a child of a prince, to a peasant.”
St Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) Evangelical Doctor
“Commitment is doing what you said you would do,
after the feeling you said it in, has passed.”

without wanting to fight for it.”

and change the beginning
but you can start where you are
and change the ending.”

is to learn to be a gift.”
