Mustard Seed

He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.


Author: St. John of the Cross

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.


Jim Elliot, christian missionary, explaining his motivation to go to a headhunter tribe to share the Gospel. They killed him, but the tribe later heard the Gospel, received Christ, and was totally transformed.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.


From The Paradoxical Commandments, by Dr. Kent M. Keith. Mother Teresa quoted this often. I wrote a commentary on this text.

Preach the Gospel, if necessary, use words!


Often attributed to St. Francis, but not traceable to him (which means he didn't say it). Still words to live by that definitely show Francis' spirit.

Before I started collecting my uplifting quotes online, I collected them in note books like this. I took small ones with me when I traveled. Big ones like this are great not just to collect quotes but also to write down my thoughts about the quotes - or just short insights of my own.
