How many times have you heard this statement, I haven't time. How many times have we made it ourselves? oh, I wish I had time. Time for what? Time to work in the Church, to serve in our communities and time to improve our minds. Think again of these twenty-four hours that are given to us.

John Longden

You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful, sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the best education of all.

What man would be wise, let him drink of the river That bears on his bosom the record of time; A message to him every wave can deliver To teach him to creep till he knows how to climb.

John Boyle O'Reilly, LL.D.
