Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Courage

And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco "[To his boys, when the Oratory had to move yet again:]
Courage – moving seems to suit us; we are growing all the time. God is our Father and He will take care of us."

"When one is convinced that his cause is just, he will fear nothing."

"[On his deathbed, in a moment of delirium:]
Pray! Pray, but with faith – with living faith! Courage! Onward, ever onward!"

"Don’t be afraid, Our Lady will send us all that is necessary."

"Be brave, do not be led by what others think or say!"

"I do not fear at all what men can do to me for speaking the truth. I only fear what God would do if I were to lie."

"I never shrink from any undertaking which I know is good and necessary, no matter what the difficulties. If, for example, I must see some unfriendly important person, I don’t hesitate, but first I recite a Hail Mary. I do the same before calling on anybody. Then, come what may, I do my best and leave the rest to the Lord."
