One of Paul's favorite quotes is:""What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism." - G.K. Chesterton
"Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions." - G.K. Chesterton
"Impartiality is a pompous name for indifference, which is an elegant name for ignorance." - G.K. Chesterton
"Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around." - G.K. Chesterton
"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected." - G.K. Chesterton
"Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified." - G.K. Chesterton
"God is quicker to forgive than a mother to snatch her child from the fire."
- St. Jean Vianney
"If I find in myself a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." – C.S. Lewis

e Catholic Church is the only thing that saves a man from the degrading slavery of becoming a child of his age." - G.K. Chesterton
"Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ." - St. Ignatius of Antioch, A.D. 107
"Therefore we are to see a certain vision, my brethren, that no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived: a vision surpassing all earthly beauty, whether it be that of gold and silver, woods and fields, sea and sky, sun and moon, or stars and angels. The reason is this: it is the source of all other beauty." - St. Augustine, on the beatific vision of heaven
"The liturgy is a gift which precedes us, a precious treasure which has been delivered by the age-old prayer of the Church, the place in which the faith has found its form in time and its expression in prayer. It is not made available to us in order to be subjected to our personal interpretation; rather, the liturgy is made available so as to be fully at the disposal of all, yesterday just as today and also tomorrow...What casual folly it is indeed, to claim for ourselves the right to change in a subjective way the holy signs which time has sifted, through which the Church speaks about herself, her identity and her faith!" - Msgr. Guido Marini, Papal MC
“It is absurd and a detestable shame, that we should suffer those traditions to be changed, which we have received from the fathers of old.” - St. Thomas Aquinas
