It is difficult to live a saintly life in this world even with the best of intentions. There always exists the dangerous menace of one's being left entirely to oneself and also the probability of one's being absorbed by work, by the necessities of life, and by the occupations of every sort which conditions or our own will impose. Then too, one is most always ignorant of the right road to pursue! -- St. Peter Eymard
Attempts to be virtuous that are joined to disobedience to the will of God, no matter how good they may appear, will actually work for our damnation. -- St. Thomas More
The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever (1 John 2:17).
