I is for St. Ignatius


This year, my theme is Quotes from A-Z.  Each day I will post a quote from a person whose name starts with each day's letter.  It will be short and sweet but hopefully it will bring a moment of inspiration, laughter, or meditation to your busy day.  I would love to hear your thoughts on the quotes in the comments or what other quote is your favorite by that day's person. On each Saturday, I will list all the quotes from the week and you can vote to tell me which was your favorite!




I is for St. Ignatius
(1496-1556) Spanish knight and founder of Society of Jesus 







“He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor.”










Quote found on Goodreads.com


How has the second week of A-Z Challenge gone for you?

  1. Hmm. Nice quote, kind of obvious to spiritual people but possibly not to all.

  2. Fix yourself before you try to fix anything else.

  3. I like this one. I used to work in social work and met way too many people who were all about saving the world but were totally dysfunctional in their own lives.

  4. Brilliant quote - obvious, but surprisingly ignored by many people!

  5. Everyone should take a look at what needs fixing within themselves first.

    Good luck with the 2015 A to Z Challenge!

  6. I think a lot of people who try to "reform" things need to look at this quote.

  7. That is so true, one must take care of one self before trying to take care of/reform others. The second week of the challenge is going well, hoping the third week won't also include mandatory overtime at work :)

  8. Wise advise. I find insincere do-gooders very frustrating. They talk, but don't walk the talk.
