Chastity Quotes - Page 4

• I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

  George Sand

• Whatever he says, let his inner resolution be not to bear whatever comes to him, but to bear it 'for a reasonable period'--and let the reasonable period be shorter than the trial is likely to last. It need not be much shorter; in attacks on patience, chastity, and fortitude, the fun is to make the man yield just when (had he but known it) relief was almost in sight.

• Después de cada fracaso, pide perdón, levántate e inténtalo de nuevo. Muy a menudo, lo primero que Dios nos ayuda a conseguir no es la virtud en sí misma, sino precisamente este poder de intentarlo siempre de nuevo. Por muy importante que sea la castidad (o la valentía, o la veracidad, o cualquier otra virtud), este proceso nos entrena en hábitos del alma que son aún más importantes. Cura nuestras ilusiones sobre nosotros mismos y nos enseña a depender de Dios. Aprendemos, por un lado, que no podemos confiar en nosotros mismos ni siquiera en nuestros mejores momentos y, por otro, que no tenemos que desesperar ni siquiera en los peores, porque nuestros fracasos son perdonados.

  C. S. Lewis

• In Tibet there is no marriage, and there is no jealousy, yet we know that marriage is a much higher state. The Tibetans have not known the wonderful enjoyment, the blessing of chastity, the happiness of having a chaste, virtuous wife, or a chaste, virtuous husband. These people cannot feel that. And similarly they do not feel the intense jealousy of the chaste wife or husband, or the misery caused by unfaithfulness on either side, with all the heart-burnings and sorrows which believers in chastity experience. On one side, the latter gain happiness, but on the other, they suffer misery too.
