"God's gift of salvation in Christ is offered to the whole humanity. Likewise...the Holy Spirit's work is cosmic; it reaches in mysterious ways to people of all faiths. Therefore, the Church is called to discern the signs of the 'hidden' Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit in other religions and in the world, and bear witness to God's salvation in Christ."

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony."
--William Henry Channing

"Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you."
--Don Juan (as quoted by Carlos Casteneda)
