if there were no winter, there would be no summer.

His house is in the village though; 

He will not see me stopping here 

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Peace

Peace is the first thing the angels sang. Peace is the mark of the sons of God. Peace is the nurse of love. Peace is the mother of unity. Peace is the rest of blessed souls. Peace is the dwelling place of eternity.
--Pope Saint Leo the Great

To Mary

”Let those who think that the Church pays too much attention to Mary give heed to the fact that Our Blessed Lord Himself gave ten times as much of His life to her as He gave to His Apostles.”
--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Friend

"The friend within the man is that part of him which belongs to you and opens to you a door which never, perhaps, is opened to another."
