Do not allow your daughters to be taught letters by a man, though he be a St. Paul or St. Francis of Assissium. The saints are in Heaven.

More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
You will gain more by receiving scorn peacefully than if you fasted for a week on bread and water. It is good to humble ourselves but it is much more worthwhile to accept the humiliations that come to us from others.
Alphonsus Liguori
He who suffers in patience, surfers less and saves his soul. He who suffers impatiently, suffers more and loses his soul.
Alphonsus Liguori
New revelations regarding faith or morals ... have always been abhorred and challenged in the Church ... Hence, the Sovereign Pontiffs, the Councils, and the Fathers have been most careful to reject all novelties or new doctrines on matters of faith which differed from those already received.
Alphonsus Liguori
By the law of nature, there is no pleasure in suffering but divine love, when it reigns in a heart, makes it take delight in its sufferings.
Alphonsus Liguori
St. Jerome declares that he holds for certain, and has learned from experience, that he will never make a good end who has led a bad life to the very last: 'This I hold, this I have learned by much experience, that his will be an evil end who has always led an evil life.'
Alphonsus Liguori
To be silent when we are impelled to utter words injurious to God or to our neighbour, is an act of virtue but, to be silent in confessing our sins, is the ruin of the soul.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let us make up for lost time. Let us give to God the time that remains to us.
Alphonsus Liguori
Our Faith will never be true unless it is united to that of St. Peter and the Pontiff, his successors.
Alphonsus Liguori
The brightest ornaments in the crown of the blessed in heaven are the sufferings which they have borne patiently on earth.
Alphonsus Liguori
Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
It would be the greatest delight of the seraphs to pile up sand on the seashore or to pull weeds in a garden for all eternity, if they found out such was God's will. Our Lord himself teaches us to ask to do the will of God on earth as the saints do it in heaven: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Alphonsus Liguori
It is a great mistake, as we have already remarked, to be afraid of Him and to act in His presence like a timid and craven slave trembling with fright before his master.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let us thank God for having called us to His holy faith. It is a great gift, and the number of those who thank God for it is small.
Alphonsus Liguori
When we hear people talk of riches, honors and amusements of the world, let us remember that all things have an end, and let us then say: My God, I wish for You alone and nothing more.
Alphonsus Liguori
I Love Jesus Christ and that is why I am on fire with the desire to give Him souls, first of all my own, and then an incalculable number of others.
Alphonsus Liguori
In cold and heat, in rain and wind, the soul united to God says, I want it to be warm, to be cold, windy, to rain, because God wills it.
Alphonsus Liguori
Speak to Him often of your business, your plans, your troubles, your fears - of everything that concerns you.
Alphonsus Liguori
True, He is infinite Majesty, but He is also infinite Goodness and infinite Love. There can be no greater Lord than God neither can there be a more ardent lover than He.
Alphonsus Liguori
How beautiful she is, Our Lady of compassion! How dear! How utterly unselfish! How filled with joy for Him - and us - in the depths of her own agony and desolation!
Alphonsus Liguori
True charity consists in doing good to those who do us evil, and in thus winning them over.
Alphonsus Liguori
