Saint Pope John Paul II
“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle."
~“The future starts today, not tomorrow.”
~“Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
