CORRECTION
Reprimand and rebuke should be accepted as healing remedies for vice and as conducive to good health. From this it is clear that those who pretend to be tolerant because they wish to flatter-----those who thus fail to correct sinners-----actually cause them to suffer supreme loss and plot the destruction of that life which is their true life.
- St. Basil the Great
- Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience
with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own
imperfections but instantly set about remedying them---every day
begin the task anew. - - St. Francis de Sales
COURAGE AND FORTITUDE
The principal act of courage is to endure and withstand dangers doggedly rather than to attack them.
- St. Thomas Aquinas
Though the path is plain and smooth for men of good will, he who walks it will not travel far, and will do so only with difficulty, if he does not have good feet: that is, courage and a persevering spirit.
- St. John of the Cross
When one is convinced that his cause is just, he will fear nothing.
- St. John Bosco
Don't be afraid, Our Lady will send us all that is necessary.
- St. John Bosco
Pray! Pray, but with faith – with living faith! Courage! Onward, ever onward!
- St. John Bosco
Be brave, do not be led by what others think or say!
- St. John Bosco
I do not fear at all what men can do to me for speaking the truth. I only fear what God would do if I were to lie.
- St. John Bosco
I never shrink from any undertaking which I know is good and necessary, no matter what the difficulties. If, for example, I must see some unfriendly important person, I don’t hesitate, but first I recite a Hail Mary. I do the same before calling on anybody. Then, come what may, I do my best and leave the rest to the Lord.
- St. John Bosco
Hope has two beautiful daughters: their names are anger and courage. Anger that things are the way they are. Courage to make them the way they ought to be.
- St. Augustine
Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
- St. Francis of Assisi
