“Labor to keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.”

One thousand friends

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,
And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.

Envy according to the aspect of its object is contrary to charity,
whence the soul derives its spiritual life…
Charity rejoices in our neighbor's good,
while envy grieves over it.

St. Thomas Aquinas
