Pablo Picasso

To hit bottom is to fall from grace.
Douglas Horton

Theocritus

We are saved by grace, not by the works of the law. But don't be so quick to write the law off.
Randall Terry

We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Ray Manzarek

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.
Sarah Ban Breathnach

Victor Hugo

Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.
Saint Augustine

With respect to Holy Communion, it is up to the communicant to decide whether they are in a state of grace and worthy to receive the Eucharist. Each one of us makes that decision.

Without vanity, without coquetry, without curiosity, in a word, without the fall, woman would not be woman. Much of her grace is in her frailty.
Victor Hugo

Words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds.
Elie Wiesel

You will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate.
Pope John Paul II
