God ordains that beggars should beg for greatness, as for all else, when greatness shines out of them, and they dont know it. – Georges Bernanos
The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means. – Georges Bernanos
What does the truth matter? Havent we mothers all given our sons a taste for lies, lies which from the cradle upwards lull them, reassure them, send them to sleep: lies as soft and warm as a breast! – Georges Bernanos
Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air. – Georges Bernanos

But both have hold of a great truth, and get from it a great power. – Matthew Arnold
