Luisa Sigea de Velasco quotes

  • The virtue of achievement is victory over oneself. Those who know this can never know defeat.

  • If I can slow it down in my mind, things will be fine.

  • Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life.

  • Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

  • May God so fill us today with the heart of Christ that we may glow with the divine fire of holy desire.

  • No mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed.

  • Ice burns, and it is hard to the warm-skinned to distinguish one sensation, fire, from the other, frost.

  • Fighting fire with fire only gets you ashes!

  • When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.

  • There is a certain kind of pain that can change you. Even the strongest sword, when placed in a raging fire, will soften and bend and change its form... Trust me on this one. I know this from personal experience. I hope that you never will, but, since you're a person, and therefore prone to making horrible, soul-splitting mistakes, you probably will one day know what this kind of guilt and shame feels like. And when that time comes, I hope you have the strength...to take advantage of the fire and reshape your own sword.
