Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp's nest.
Pope Paul VI

Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Pope Paul VI

If you want peace work for justice.
Pope Paul VI

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.
Pope Paul VI

All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
Pope Paul VI

Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground.
Pope Paul VI

In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
Pope Paul VI

Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Pope Paul VI
