Father Ignatius

Famous quotes containing the words father and/or ignatius:

    But Father John went up,
    And Father John went down;
    And he wore small holes in his shoes,
    And he wore large holes in his gown.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.
    —St. Ignatius Of Loyola (1491–1556)
