Chastity is a difficult long term matter, one must wait patiently for it to bear fruit for the happiness of loving kindness which it must bring. But at the same time chastity is the sure way to happiness.

More quotes by Pope John Paul II
Respect for life and for the dignity of the human person also extends to the rest of creation, which is called to join man in praising God.
Pope John Paul II
People must not attempt to impose their own 'truth' on others. The right to profess the truth must always be upheld, but not in a way that involves contempt for those who may think differently. Truth imposes itself solely by the force of its own truth.
Pope John Paul II
Once the truth is denied to human beings, it is pure illusion to try to set them free. Truth and freedom either go together hand in hand or together they perish in misery.
Pope John Paul II
Peoples of the entire world need to hear these words. Their conscience needs to grow in the certainty that Someone exists who holds in His Hands the destiny of this passing world... And this Someone is Love- Love that became Man, Love crucified and risen, Love unceasingly present among men. It is Eucharistic Love.
Pope John Paul II
Do you think that there can be anything greater than to bring Jesus to people and people to Jesus?
Pope John Paul II
The international community should support a system of laws to regularize international relations and maintain the peace in the same manner that law governs national order.
Pope John Paul II
...Be holy men and women! Do not forget that the fruits of the apostolate depend on the depth of the spiritual life, on the intensity of prayer, of continual formation and sincere adhesion to the directives of the Church.
Pope John Paul II
Beauty is the vocation bestowed on the artist by the Creator in the gift of artistic talent.
Pope John Paul II
It is not enough to long for a person as a good for oneself, one must also, and above all, long for that person's good.
Pope John Paul II
Without wonder, men and women would lapse into deadening routine and little by little would become incapable of a life which is genuinely personal.
Pope John Paul II
If you wish to be brothers, drop your weapons.
Pope John Paul II
Know what you are talking about.
Pope John Paul II
In the fulfillment of your duties, let your intentions be so pure that you reject from your actions any other motive than the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
Pope John Paul II
The true Christian can nurture a trustful optimism, because he is certain of not walking alone. In sending us Jesus, the eternal Son made man, God has drawn near to each of us. In Christ he has become our travelling companion.
Pope John Paul II
The human person is a unique composite - a unity of spirit and matter, soul and body, fashioned in the image of God and destined to live forever. Every human life is sacred, because every human person is sacred.
Pope John Paul II
Man's life comes from God: it is his image and imprint, as sharing in his breath of life. God therefore is the sole Lord of this life: Man cannot do with it as he wills.
Pope John Paul II
Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly proclaimed and the value of life is publicly affirmed, the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death.
Pope John Paul II
It's too early for a Polish pope.
Pope John Paul II
Where, if not in the Divine Mercy, can the world find refuge and the light of hope?
Pope John Paul II
Love is never defeated, and I could add, the history of Ireland proves it.
