Jacques Maritain

"A man of courage flees forward in the midst of new things. "

"Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence. "

"Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy. "

"We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person. "

"We don't love qualities, we love persons sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities. "
