SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI
Italian religious leader

Gold hath no lustre of its own.
  It shines by temperate use alone.
      - [Gold]

How, thro' her tears, with pale and trembling radiance,
  The eye of beauty shines, and lights her sorrows!
    As rises o'er the storm some silver star,
      The seaman's hope, and promise of his safety.
      - [Tears]

Lord, make me an Instrument of Thy Peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. . . .
      - [Peace]

Our actions are our own; their consequences belong to Heaven.
      - [Action]

Preach the gospel all the time. If necessary use words.
      - [Religion]

Start by doing the necessary, then the possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
      - [Impossibility]

The brave unfortunate are our best acquaintance.
      - [Unfortunate]

The secret consciousness
  Of duty well performed; the public voice
    Of praise that honors virtue, and rewards it;
      All these are yours.
      - [Duty]
