Truth Quotes

These are very unskillful comparisons to represent so precious a thing, but I am not clever enough to think out any more: the real truth is that joy makes the soul so forgetful of itself, and of everything, that it is conscious of nothing, and able to speak of nothing, save of that which proceeds from its joy... Let us join with this soul, my daughters all. Why should we want to be more sensible than she? What can give us greater pleasure than to do as she does? And may all the creatures join with us for ever and ever. Amen, amen, amen.
Mother Teresa

The engaged mind, illuminated by truth, awakens awareness; the engaged heart, affected by love, awakens passion.

Man was sent into the world to be a growing and exhaustless force. The world was spread out around him to be seized and conquered.
