## Quotes

* The church has taught us, the body is one. When one member is suffering, the whole body suffers, and we should never become complacent into the situations of others, but always be aware and do what we can.

## Quotes

* Social change, if it is to endure and take place on as wide a basis as possible, can only happen when the people who are the target of change participate in the process from start to finish, have a say in the setting of goals, in the decisions taken to accomplish those goals, in the action on the decisions. It is a common sense insight that social anthropologists make much of but which technocrats and governments in a hurry most often ignore.

## Quotes

* I feel blessed and grateful to serve in a double calling as a priest and Navy chaplain. Not everyone is called to my life, but according to my way of thinking, had I not been there, these sailors and Marines would not have been able to receive the sacraments that we Catholics believe are so important. That is why I encourage our priests and seminarians with an interest to consider a life as a military chaplain. Some will find they really enjoy it.

### Miscellanies upon Moral Subjects (1685)

    Miscellanies upon Moral Subjects (London: Sam Keeble and Jo. Hindmarsh, 1695)
* By reading a man does as it were antedate his life, and makes himself contemporary with the ages past. And this way of running up beyond one's nativity is much better than Plato's pre-existence, because here a man knows something of the state, and is the wiser for it, which he is not in the other.
** "Of the Entertainment of Books", pp. 92–93.
* A man may as well expect to grow stronger by always eating, as wiser by always reading. Too much over-charges nature, and turns more into disease than nourishment. 'Tis thought and digestion which makes books serviceable, and gives health and vigour to the mind.
** "Of the Entertainment of Books", p. 94.
* People's opinions of themselves are commonly legible in their countenances.
** "Of Confidence", p. 97.
* Envy […], like a cold poison, […] benumbs and stupefies. And thus conscious as it were of its own impotence, it folds its arms in despair, and sits cursing in a corner.
** "Of Envy", pp. 107–108.
* Everyone has a fair turn to be as great as he pleases.
** "Of Envy", p. 112.
* To believe a business impossible is the way to make it so. How many feasible projects have miscarried by despondency, and been strangled in the birth by a cowardly imagination?
** "Against Despair", p. 121.
* Knowledge is the consequence of time, and multitude of days are fittest to teach wisdom.

## Quotes

* Pain undoubtedly frightens everyone. But when it is enlightened by faith it becomes a way to cut back selfishness, banalities and frivolities. What’s more, we Christians live pain in communion with the Crucified Jesus: clinging to Him, we fill our pain with love and transform it into a force that challenges and overcomes the selfishness that is still present in the world.

## Quotes

* Aristoteles hominis animum comparavit tabulae rasae, cui nihil inscriptum sit, inscribi tamen omnia possint. … Hoc interest, quod in tabula lineas ducere non licet, nisi quousque margo permittat: in mente usque et usque scribendo, et sculpendo, terminum nusquam invenies quia (ut ante monitum) interminabilis est.
** Aristotle compared the mind of man to a blank tablet on which nothing was written, but on which all things could be engraved. … There is, however, this difference, that on the tablet the writing is limited by space, while in the case of the mind, you may continually go on writing and engraving without finding any boundary, because, as has already been shown, the mind is without limit.
** The Great Didactic (Didactica Magna) (Amsterdam, 1657) [written 1627–38], as translated by M. W. Keatinge (1896).

## Quotes

* He is a true pastor. I was deeply moved by his homily on the day of the inauguration of his ministry, particularly by the use of the image of the wasteland. Many people, for different reasons, including poverty and abandonment, are living in the wasteland of modern, secular society. It seemed to me that in the words of the Holy Father there was a wonderful compassion and understanding of the suffering of people in today's world.

** "Elegy on Lord Howard, Baron of Effingham"
* I wish thee, Vin, before all wealth, Both bodily and ghostly health: ... I wish thee all thy mothers graces, Thy father’s fortunes, and his places. I wish thee friends, and one at Court, Not to build on, but support; To keep thee, not in doing many Oppressions, but from suffering any.

# Álvaro Corrada del Río

## Quotes

* Sometimes in our activist and production-oriented American society and culture we succumb to pragmatism looking at the Christian life and our sharing in the apostolic mission of the Church as a matter being able to “do” things for Christ, the Church or others. In fact, the Christian life is a gift and a call to truth and love given to us by God. It is first a matter of "being," of simply existing as a person created by God and redeemed by him in Christ. We live out this truth and love in specific ways according to our age, talents, and unique vocation. At no point are the sacraments about what we have done or promise to do for God. They are God's free gift of grace to us. At the same time, these gifts of love entail an obligation to bear witness to God's love in word and deed by our collaboration in freedom with the grace given.

To be clear, it does not mean that there is no more darkness, no more hatred, no more death. It means that they do not have the last word!

## Quotes

* We have to be saints. And we have to know that there will be challenge and fierce challenge at times. As Pope Francis famously said the Church is like a field hospital. That is a military term. We are involved in a war. Christ’s followers will get bruised and battered. There will be opposition even hatred, we will meet the cross; Calvary was a messy place. And we remind ourselves that God is in charge. He is the One who gives us strength and hope. And we must realize this fully. With Christ we can stand undaunted. After all Christ has overcome the world. Therefore the creative minority can stand unintimidated.

Séamus Cunningham (7 July 1942–) is an Irish-born prelate of the Roman Catholic Church in England who was the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle.

## Quotes

* Christmas tells us of God’s passion for us, God is reaching out to us with our tattered lives, our tattered hurts, our tattered relationships and our tattered sins – he is reaching out to us with open arms breaking into our lives. He makes no distinctions, He embraces the least likely – Christmas is not sentimentality, it is not soft, it is God’s fulfilled desire to be with us and that is why we celebrate. If God is not with us and if God has not embraced our tattered lives we are missing the whole point of Christmas – there is no hope and there is no light only darkness and despair; our lives will be empty. If we celebrate Christmas because of love then we have caught the message of Christmas and the meaning of Christmas; Emmanuel, the passionate God has had His way and has hugged us fiercely.
** Christmas Message from Bishop Seamus
# Alphabet

An alphabet is a standard set of letters (basic written symbols or graphemes) which is used to write one or more languages based on the general principle that the letters represent phonemes (basic significant sounds) of the spoken language.

## Quotes

* A scholarship liked myself who is not a Sinologist and yet ventures the proposition that Chinese languages should be rewritten in the Greek alphabet (or "Romanized", to use the current term) is treading on uncharted territory (for him) and does so at his peril.
** Eric A. Havelock "Chinese Characters and the Greek Alphabet" in Sino-Platonic Papers, 5 (December 1987).
* The chief cause which made the fusion of the different elements of society so imperfect was the extreme difficulty which our ancestors found in passing from place to place. Of all inventions, the alphabet and the printing press alone excepted, those inventions which abridge distance have done most for the civilisation of our species. Every improvement of the mean of locomotions benefits mankind mortally AND intellectually as well as materially, and not only facilitated the interchange of the various productions of mature and artist, but rends to removed nationals and provincial antipathies, and to bind together all the branches of the human family.

* “...These politically correct language initiatives are misguided and harmful. They create highly entitled professional “victims” who expect to be free from any offense, and they engender a stifling atmosphere where all individuals walk on eggshells lest they might commit a linguistic capital crime.”

* Your son is drowning. A Jewish firefighter jumps in the ice water risking his life to save your non-Jewish son. Your response: "Jews are anti-white. Jews own pornography. Jews are genocidal killers. Jews brought the Muslims here because they hate the whites." The firefighter is going to feel rather unappreciated. Every single day, I fight for Canadian values, freedoms, and liberties, and every day I receive innumerable messages of hate about my being Jewish. My being Jewish is the 1,003,345th interesting thing about me but to Jew-haters, it is the only thing that defines me.
