Do not be troubled by Bernard's saying that "Hell is full of good wishes or desires." St. Francis de Sales
Now this is diversity, people. Nothing is so colorful as the kingdom of God.

A more contemporary quotation with truth that I have learned the hard way:
Sin makes you stupid. Mark Shea
And a bonus from my favorite wit in the whole world:
From silly devotions and sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us! St. Teresa of Avila
Hat tip: Enbrethiliel
Wasn't that a great list? I picked up a lot of great quotes for my journal that I hadn't come across before as well as getting quite a few chuckles at the practicality of the saints.
