Pope John XXIII
See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.
Pope John XXIII

Pope John XXIII
It is now for the Catholic Church to bend herself to her work with calmness and generosity. It is for you to observe her with renewed and friendly attention.
Pope John XXIII
There is a common belief that under modern conditions peace cannot be assured except on the basis of an equal balance of armaments...[but] true and lasting peace among nations cannot consist in the possession of an equal supply of armaments but only in mutual trust.
Pope John XXIII
The deposit of the faith is one thing... the way it is expressed is another.

Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one.
Pope John XXIII

Pope John XXIII
Anybody can be Pope the proof of this is that I have become one.
Pope John XXIII
We supplicate all rulers not to remain deaf to the cry of mankind. Let them do everything in their power to save peace. By so doing they will spare the world the horrors of a war that would have disastrous consequences, such as nobody can foresee.
Pope John XXIII
Listen to everything, forget much, correct little.
Pope John XXIII
The Catholic Church has a dignity far surpassing that of every merely human society, for it was founded by Christ the Lord. It is altogether fitting, therefore, that the language it uses should be noble, majestic, and non-vernacular.
Pope John XXIII
When I eat alone I feel like a seminarian being punished. I tried it for one week and I was not comfortable. Then I searched through Sacred Scripture for something saying I had to eat alone. I found nothing, so I gave it up and it's much better now.
Pope John XXIII
The mark of Cain is stamped upon our foreheads. Across the centuries, our brother Abel was lain in blood which we drew, and shed tears we caused by forgetting Thy love. Forgive us, Lord, for the curse we falsely attributed to their name as Jews. Forgive us for crucifying Thee a second time in their flesh. For we knew not what we did.
Pope John XXIII
Men are like wine - some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.
Pope John XXIII
Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor.
Pope John XXIII
The Rosary is a magnificent and universal prayer for the needs of the Church, the nations and the entire world.
Pope John XXIII
Today the universal common good poses problems of world-wide dimensions, which cannot be adequately tackled or solved except by the efforts of public authorities endowed with a wideness of powers, structure and means of the same proportions that is... on a world-wide basis.
Pope John XXIII
Never Hesitate to hold out your hand never hesitate to accept the outstretched hand of another.
Pope John XXIII
The Rosary is a school for learning true Christian perfection.
Pope John XXIII
