“I know that the path of virtue is narrow and the road of vice is broad and spacious. I know their ends and goals are different for the broad and easy road of vice ends in death and the narrow and toilsome one of virtue in life and not transitory life but in that which has no end.”
Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote

Bishop Stephen Leung
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

“But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

“If we ask in what precisely consists the greatest good of all, which should be the end of every system of legislation, we shall find it reduce itself to two main objects, liberty and equality – liberty, because all particular dependence means so much force taken from the body of the State and equality because liberty cannot exist without it.“
