When the flesh is satisfied it is hard to pray with cheerfulness or to devote oneself to a life of service which calls for much self-renunciation.

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer (2015). “The Cost of Discipleship”, p.115, SCM Press

  • One of the greatest evils is the foolishness of a good man. For the giving man to withhold helping someone in order to first assure personal fortification is not selfish, but to elude needless self-destruction; martyrdom is only practical when the thought is to die, else a good man faces the consequence of digging a hole from which he cannot escape, and truly helps no one in the long run.

  • Gratitude is not a spiritual or moral dessert which we may take or push away according to the whims of the moment, and in either case without material consequences.

What was the seed of disintegration that corrupted the heart of the ancient world beyond the point of divine remedy...? What was it but ingratitude?

  • Our knowledge of God is perfected by gratiitude: we are thankful and rejoice in the experience of the truth that He is love.

    Thomas Merton (2011). “Thoughts In Solitude”, p.46, Macmillan
  • All that we behold is full of blessings.

    William Wordsworth (2016). “Wordsworth: 'Daffodils' and Other Poems”, p.14, Michael O'Mara Books
