On 6 December, 1273, he laid aside his pen and would write no more. That day he experienced an unusually long ecstasy during Mass; what was revealed to him we can only surmise from his reply to Father Reginald, who urged him to continue his writings:

“I can do no more. Such secrets have been revealed to me that all I have written now appears to be of little value.”
–Saint Thomas Aquinas

That is a very great quote from St. Thomas – for many reasons (although I’ve heard it differently “all I have written is so much straw”).
 
“I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God’s will.” Joan of Arc
 
Saint Joan imparts great spiritual wisdom in many of her great qutoes. One of my personal favorites is:
“Aide toy, Dieu te aidera”
which translated means:
“Aid yourself and God will aid you”🙂
 
Two from Saint Francis

*I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

It is not fitting, when one is in God’s service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look*.
 
“It is the Immaculata alone who has from God the promise of victory over Satan.” - St. Maximilian Kolbe
