HASTE
The affairs of God are accomplished little by little and almost imperceptibly. The Spirit of God is neither violent nor hasty.
- St. Vincent de Paul
God does not hasten His works. He does all things in their time.

It is not expedient to wish to do everything all at once, or to think that all is lost if everybody else does not hurry along with us.
- St. Vincent de Paul
HEAVEN
I don't put a penny's value on this life if only our Lord will give me a tiny corner in Paradise.
- St. Camillus de Lellis
Our home is Heaven. On earth we're like travelers staying at a hotel. When you're away, you're always thinking of going home.
- St. John Vianney
DIVINE REWARD
His Majesty [the Lord] . . . rewards great services with trials, and there can be no better reward, for out of trials springs love for God.
- St. Teresa of Avila
That is how His Majesty [the Lord] rewards our good works-----I mean, by predisposing us to perform better ones.
- St. Teresa of Avila
May I not come before You with empty hands, since we are rewarded according to our deeds.

HELL
Hell is full of the talented, but Heaven of the energetic.
- St. Jane Francis de Chantal
If you die as an unbeliever, you will be damned and lost forever.
- St. John Bosco
All who die without the faith are in Hell.
- St. Francis Xavier
"Lord, are they few that are saved? But He said to them: 'Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.' "
- St. Luke 13:23-24
The saved are few, but we must live with the few if we would be saved with the few. O God, too few indeed they are: yet amongst those few I wish to be.
- St. Alphonsus Liguori
A multitude of souls fall into the depths of Hell, and it is of the faith that all who die in mortal sin are condemned for ever and ever. According to statistics, approximately 80,000 persons die every day. How many of these will die in mortal sin, and how many will be condemned! For, as their lives have been, so also will be their end.
- St. Anthony Mary Claret
Not all, nor even a majority,
are saved. . . They are indeed many, if regarded by themselves, but
they are few in comparison with the far larger number of those who
shall be punished with the devil.
- St. Augustine
Meditate on the horrors of Hell which will last for eternity because of one easily-committed mortal sin. Try hard to be among the few who are chosen. Think of the eternal flames of Hell, and how few there are that are saved.
- St. Benedict Joseph Labre
He who abuses too much the mercy of God will be abandoned by Him.- St. Augustine
