“There are many who want me to tell them of secret ways of becoming perfect and I can only tell them that the sole secret is a hearty love of God, and the only way of attaining that love is by loving. You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so you learn to love God and man by loving. Begin as a mere apprentice and the very power of love will lead you on to become a master of the art.” MenWayWantArtI CanRunningSpeakPerfectLove IsSecretChristianityStudyMastersBecomingMereGod LoveWant MeSoleLoving YouPower Of LoveApprenticeHeartyBecoming Perfect Author:Saint Francis de Sales

“Christianity exhorted man to set himself up against Nature, but did so in the name of his spiritual and disinterested attributes. Pragmatism exhorts him to do so in the name of his practical attributes. Formerly man was divine because he had been able to acquire the concept of justice, the idea of law, the sense of God; today he is divine because he has been able to create equipment which makes him the master of matter.” MenHas BeensIdeasMatterTodayAbleSpiritualLawNamesJusticeChristianityDivineMastersConceptsPracticalsAcquireAttributesEquipmentPragmatismDisinterested Book:The Treason of the Intellectuals Source: The Treason of the Intellectuals
“Now you say, alas! Christianity is hard; I grant it; but gainful and happy. I contemn the difficulty when I respect the advantage. The greatest labors that have answerable requitals are less than the least that have no regard. Believe me, when I look to the reward, I would not have the work easier. It is a good Master whom we serve, who not only pays, but gives; not after the proportion of our earnings, but of His own mercy.” GivingBelieveLooksHardPayChristianityMastersEasierAdvantageLaborMercyDifficultyRegardRewardsProportionGrantsBelieve In MeEarningAlas Author:Joseph Hall
