""Happy he that knows Thee, even if he knows nothing else," says St. Augustine. If we knew all the sciences and knew not how to love Jesus Christ, our knowledge shall profit us nothing to eternal life. But if we know how to love Jesus Christ, we shall know all things, and shall be happy for eternity."

-- Alphonsus Liguori

He laughs and says to Himself, 'The whole universe belongs to Me, but they say they own this portion or that portion.'”
