Pope John XXIII

Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one.

The family is the first essential cell of human society.

In this world of ours, every believer must be a spark of light, a center of love, a vivifying ferment for the mass; and it will be that all the more as, in the depths of his being, he lives in communion with God.

I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
