Ignatius of Loyola
Laugh and grow strong.

Ignatius of Loyola
He who is not getting better is getting worse.
Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.
Ignatius of Loyola
If anyone asks you for something that you believe would be injurious to him, refuse, but in such a manner as not to lose his good-will.
Ignatius of Loyola
There is no doubt that God will never be wanting to us, provided that He finds in us that humility which makes us worthy of His gifts, the desire of possessing them, and the promptitude to co-operate industriously with the graces He gives us.
Ignatius of Loyola
If one fears men much he will never do anything great for God: all that one does for God arouses persecution.
Ignatius of Loyola
The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness.
Ignatius of Loyola
To conquer himself is the greatest victory that man can gain.
