“Among the flowers no perfume is like mine; That which is best in me comes from within. So those in this world who would rise and shine Should seek internal excellence to win. And though 'tis true that falsehood and despair Meet in my name, yet bear it still in mind That where they meet they perish. All is fair When they are gone and nought remains behind.” WorldShouldMindStillsWinningNamesBehindsGoneThis WorldMinesFlowerBearsDespairFairsRemainsShiningExcellenceInternalsFalsehoodPerfume Author:Charles Godfrey Leland

“When I gaze into the stars, they look down upon me with pity from their serene and silent spaces, like eyes glistening with tears over the little lot of man. Thousands of generations, all as noisy as our own, have been swallowed up by time, and there remains no record of them any more.

“When the light of the sun shines through a prism it is broken into beautiful colours, and when the prism is shattered, still the light remains. So does the life of life shine resplendent in the forms of our friends, and so, when their forms are broken, still their life remains; and in that life we are united with them; for the life of their life is also our life, and we are one with them by ties indissoluble.” DoeStillsLightBeautifulFormLife IsUnitedSunOur LivesBrokenRemainsShiningTiesColourShatteredSun ShinesPrisms Author:Felix Adler

“The Bible stands apart from all other books, and has survived and will survive all the attacks of its enemies. It is like the electric torch that shines over the water of New York Bay, struck by the wing of many a seabird that dashes against it in its reckless flight, but still shining on unmoved while the foolish and reckless assailant falls bleeding and wounded at its feet. It is an anvil which has worn out many a hammer of hostile criticism, while the anvil still remains unshaken amid the wreck of all that have assailed it.” StillsBookFallWaterEnemyFeetNew YorkCriticismRemainsWingsShiningFoolishFlightElectricWornWoundedSurvivedHostileHammersRecklessWrecksBleedingTorchesWorn OutAnvils Author:A.

“The truth never shines forth, as the saying goes, because the only truth is that which is known to no one and which remains untransmitted, that which is not translated into words or images, that which remains concealed and unverified, which is perhaps why we do recount so much or even everything, to make sure that nothing has ever really happened, not once it's been told.” KnownHappenedTruth IsRemainsShiningConcealed Book:A Heart So White Source: A Heart So White

“For 2,000 years, the Church has been the cradle in which Mary places Jesus and entrusts Him to the adoration and contemplation of all peoples. May the humility of the Bride cause to shine forth still more brightly the glory and power of the Eucharist, which she celebrates and treasures in her heart.
