Text Quotes
I begin to understand as never before that holiness is made of dailiness, of living life as it comes to me, not as I insist it be (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Two ideas militate against our consciously contributing to a better world. The idea that we can do everything or the conclusion that we can do nothing to make this globe a better place to live are both temptations of the most insidious form. One leads to arrogance; the other to despair (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Getting to know ourselves and learning to control ourselves are the two great tasks of life. Don’t make up strange and exotic ‘penances.’ Simply say no to yourself once a day, and you will be on the road to sanctity for the rest of your life (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Precisely because of the greatness of God, we don’t have to be great at all. Just in awe (Joan D Chittister Quotes)

Humor and laughter are not necessarily the same thing. Humor permits us to see into life from a fresh and gracious perspective. We learn to take ourselves more lightly in the presence of good humor. Humor gives us the strength to bear what cannot be changed, and the sight to see the human under the pompous (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
It is in community that we come to see God in the other. It is in community that we see our own emptiness filled up. It is community that calls me beyond the pinched horizons of my own life, my own country, my own race, and gives me the gifts I do not have within me (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
The message we have internalized is clear - we are what we do and what we own, not what we are inside ourselves. Where it counts! (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Life is an exercise in the development of feeling. When we repress feelings, we become sour and judgmental. When we live awash in great feeling over small things, we become jaded long before we have even begun to enjoy. When feelings are in balance they sweeten long days and great distances with gratitude and hope (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Goodness is a process of becoming, not of being. What we do over and over again is what we become in the end (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Fear is not the opposite of courage. Fear is the catalyst of courage (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Life is the ability to start over again (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Everything we do seeds the future. No action is an empty one (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Find the thing that stirs your heart and make room for it (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Beauty scatters the seeds of hope in us (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Hospitality is simply love on the loose (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
It is not our job to work miracles, but it is our task to try (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Religion is pointing toward the moon (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Darkness deserves gratitude. It is the alleluia point at which we learn to understand that all growth does not take place in the sunlight (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Acceptance is the universal currency of real friendship... It does not warp or shape or wrench a person to be anything other than what they are (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Beware the religion that turns you against another one. It’s unlikely that it’s really religion at all (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Anger is not bad. Anger can be a very positive thing, the thing that moves us beyond the acceptance of evil (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
The vision of a culture lies in what becomes its major institutions, in what it remembers as its most impacting events, in who it sees as its heroes (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Compassion makes no distinction between friends and enemies, neighbors and outsiders, compatriots and foreigners. Compassion is the gate to human community (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Life is a series of lessons, some of them obvious, some of them not. We learn as we go that dreams end, that plans get changed, that promises get broken, that our idols disappoint us (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Prophets are those who take life as it is and expand it. They refuse to shrink a vision of tomorrow to the boundaries of yesterday (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Never confuse desire with vision. Desire has to do with what we want. Vision has to do with what we need (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
Beware of your definition of success: If it has more to do with what other people think of you than it does with what you know of your own abilities, you may be confusing applause with achievement (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
My limitations make space for the gifts of other people. Without the grace of our limitations we would be isolated, dry, and insufferable creatures indeed (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
In our dreams lies our unfinished work for the world (Joan D Chittister Quotes)
