- Saint Dominic Savio
The only true riches are those that make us rich in virtue. Therefore, if you ant to be rich, beloved, love true riches. If you aspire to the heights of real honor, strive to reach the kingdom of Heaven. If you value rank and renown, hasten to be enrolled in the heavenly court of the Angels.
