I saw these quotes on a website and I had to snag'em.. These quotes rock! I hope you agree. 
"Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self." - Mother Teresa
"Intense love does not measure . . . it just gives." - Mother Teresa
"The person who does not decide to love forever will find it very difficult to really love for even one day." - Pope John Paul II
"Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. This is why Christ the Redeemer 'fully reveals man to himself.'" - Pope John Paul II
"There is no place for selfishness—and no place for fear! Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice" - Pope John Paul II
"Real love is demanding. I would fail in my mission if I did not tell you so. Love demands a personal commitment to the will of God." - Pope John Paul II
"Only the chaste man and the chaste woman are capable of true love." - Pope John Paul II
"Chastity is a difficult, long term matter; one must wait patiently for it to bear fruit, for the happiness of loving kindness which it must bring. But at the same time, chastity is the sure way to happiness." - Pope John Paul II
"Deep within yourself, listen to your conscience which calls you to be pure . . . a home is not warmed by the fire of pleasure which burns quickly like a pile of withered grass. Passing encounters are only a caricature of love; they injure hearts and mock God's plan." - Pope John Paul II
"[God] has assigned as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman." - Pope John Paul II
"To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him." - Blessed Mother Teresa
"Holy Purity is granted by God when it is asked for with humility." - St. Josemaria Escriva
"By Lust I mean that affection of the mind that aims at the enjoyment of one's self and one's neighbor without reference to God." - St. Augustine
"When you decide firmly to lead a clean life, chastity will not be a burden on you: it will be a crown of triumph." - St. Josemaria Escriva
"Purity is the fruit of prayer." - Blessed Mother Teresa
"Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity." - St. John Henry Cardinal Newman
"Temptation is necessary to make us realize that we are nothing in ourselves." - St. Josemaria Escriva |
