Saint Francis of Assisi

"For it is in giving that we receive. "

"It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. "

"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. "

"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace Where there is hatred let me sow love Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith Where there is despair, hope Where there is darkness, light Where there is sadness, joy. "

"O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console to be understood as to understand to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. "

"Preach the gospel at all times -- If necessary, use words. "

"Start by doing what's necessary then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible. "

"Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. "
