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

More quotes by Pope John XXIII
The deposit of the faith is one thing... the way it is expressed is another.
Pope John XXIII
Every time I hear anyone speak of the Sacred Heart of Jesus or of the Blessed Sacrament I feel an indescribable joy. It is as if a wave of precious memories, sweet affections and joyful hopes swept over my poor person, making me tremble with happiness and filling my soul with tenderness.
Pope John XXIII
Men are like wine - some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.
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

Pope John XXIII
Prudent is he who can keep silent that part of truth which may be untimely, and by not speaking it, does not spoil the truth of what he said.
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
... 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
Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfullfilled potential.
Pope John XXIII
Justice comes before charity.
Pope John XXIII
See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.
Pope John XXIII
Anybody can be Pope the proof of this is that I have become one.
Pope John XXIII
The whole world is my family.
Pope John XXIII
Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one.
Pope John XXIII
Prayer is the raising of the mind to God. We must always remember this. The actual words matter less.
Pope John XXIII
The social progress, order, security and peace of each country are necessarily connected with the social progress, order, security and peace of all other countries.
Pope John XXIII
