Above and Beyond

It is well to do our duty, but sometimes this is not enough for the happiness of others and our own. We must do our duty with joy, with eagerness, with love. We must not keep count of what we do , nor stop strictly and sternly at the exact limit of duty.

-- Rev. Matthew Russell, SJ

I have made a compact with my tongue never to speak, and with myself never to act, so long as my heart is troubled.

-- St. Francis de Sales
