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.

More quotes by Pope John Paul II
Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God.
Pope John Paul II
How beautiful is the family that recites the Rosary every evening.
Pope John Paul II
Human progress planned as alternatives (to God's plan) introduce in justice, evil and violence rising against the divine plan of justice and salvation. And despite transitory and apparent successes, they are reduced to simple machinations destined to dissolution and failure.
Pope John Paul II
To predispose our mind to welcome the Lord who, as we say in the Creed, one day will come to judge the living and the dead, we must learn to recognize him as present in the events of daily life. Therefore, Advent is, so to speak, an intense training that directs us decisively toward him who already came, who will come, and who comes continuously.
Pope John Paul II
If you wish to be brothers, drop your weapons.
Pope John Paul II
Is not Jesus pointing to children even as models for grownups?
Pope John Paul II
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
Pope John Paul II
Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war, on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.
Pope John Paul II
In Christ and through Christ man has acquired full awareness of his dignity.
Pope John Paul II
The United Nations organization has proclaimed 1979 as the Year of the Child. Are the children to receive the arms race from us as a necessary inheritance?
Pope John Paul II
There is no need to be dismayed if love sometimes follows torturous ways. Grace has the power to make straight the paths of human love.
Pope John Paul II
Work bears a particular mark of man and of humanity, the mark of a person operating within a community of persons
Pope John Paul II
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
Pope John Paul II
And everything else will then turn out to be unimportant and inessential except this: father, child, and love. And then, looking at the simplest things, we will all say, Could we have not learned this long ago? Has this not always been embedded in everything that is?
Pope John Paul II
The aesthetic value of creation cannot be overlooked. Our very contact with nature has a deep restorative power contemplation of its magnificence imparts peace and serenity. The Bible speaks again and again of the goodness and beauty of creation, which is called to glorify God.
Pope John Paul II
See everything. Ignore a lot. Improve a little.
Pope John Paul II
All are called to holiness, and holy people alone can renew humanity.
Pope John Paul II
The most faithful disciples of Christ have been builders of peace, to the point of forgiving their enemies, sometimes even to the point of giving their lives for them.
Pope John Paul II
If the communications media are a good destined for all humanity, then ever-new means must be found - including recourse to opportune legislative measures - to make possible a true participation in their management by all. The culture of co-responsibility must be nurtured.
Pope John Paul II
He has chosen you, in a mysterious but real way, to make you saviors with Him and like Him. Yes, Christ calls you, but He calls you in truth. His call is demanding, because He invites you to let yourselves be 'captured' by Him completely, so that your whole lives will be seen in a different light.
