“Talk the Talk” Quotes

Never listen to tales of others’ faults; and if anyone complains to you about someone else, ask him humbly not to speak about that person at all. – St. John of the Cross


Every good Christian ought to be more ready to give a favorable interpretation to another’s statement than to condemn it. But if he cannot do so, let him ask how the other understands it. And if the latter understands it badly, let the former correct him with love. If that does not suffice, let the Christian try all suitable ways to bring the other to a correct interpretation so that he may be saved. – St. Ignatius Loyola


Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence or learning. – Fr. Frederick Faber
