More quotes by Pope John XXIII
See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.
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
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
Justice comes before charity.
Pope John XXIII
Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor.
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
... just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul.
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
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams.
Pope John XXIII
I am made to tremble and I fear!
Pope John XXIII
What unites us, is much greater than what divides us.
Pope John XXIII
Listen to everything, forget much, correct little.
Pope John XXIII
Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfullfilled potential.
Pope John XXIII
Men are like wine - some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.
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
The Rosary is a magnificent and universal prayer for the needs of the Church, the nations and the entire world.
Pope John XXIII
Do not walk through time without leaving worthy evidence of your passage.
Pope John XXIII
The council now beginning rises in the Church like the daybreak, a forerunner of most splendid light.
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
I want to throw open the windows of the Church so that we can see out and the people can see in.
Pope John XXIII
