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

Pope John XXIII
See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.
Pope John XXIII
The whole world is my family.
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 Rosary is a magnificent and universal prayer for the needs of the Church, the nations and the entire world.

Pope John XXIII

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
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams.
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
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
Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one.
Pope John XXIII
Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor.
Pope John XXIII
What unites us, is much greater than what divides us.
Pope John XXIII
Justice comes before charity.
Pope John XXIII
Listen to everything, forget much, correct little.
Pope John XXIII
Never Hesitate to hold out your hand never hesitate to accept the outstretched hand of another.
Pope John XXIII
The deposit of the faith is one thing... the way it is expressed is another.
Pope John XXIII
