"Certainly
there is nothing wrong
with speaking one's mind
at the appropriate moment,
but always with respect -
and a bit of humor,
so that no one feels hurt."
Saint John XXIII

"In dealing with others:
always maintain
dignity, simplicity,
graciousness - a calm,
cheerful graciousness."
Saint John XXIII
"Deploring evil is a disheartening task,
and mere opposition to it will not make
it go away. We must set our will against
it and apply some energy to doing
something about it.
We must proclaim goodness to the world,
so that it can spread everywhere and in
every possible way permeate individual
lives and the entire community."
Saint John XXIII
"The world is poisoned by the
unhealthy nationalism of blood
and race, which stands in opposition
to the gospel ... our Savior died
for all nations, without distinction
of race and blood; He has become
the elder brother in the new human
family founded on Him and His gospel."

"If God is our Father,
then it follows that we all are
brothers and sisters
to one another."
