“"There is much evil in the world, but let us remember that the Immaculata is more powerful and 'she shall crush the head of the serpent' [cf. Gn 3:15]." Maximilian Maria Kolbe. The Writings of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe - Volume I - Letters (Location 12061) Nerbini International. Kindle Edition”

“"External activity is good; but, it is obviously of secondary importance and lesser still in comparison with the interior life, the life of recollection and of prayer, with the life of our personal love towards God" As quoted in "In Pursuit of Immortal Souls: Meditations on the Role of Redemptive Suffering, Silence and Prayer in the Missions" by Friar M.M. De Cruce, F.I., Franciscan Academy of the Immaculate, New Bedford, MA, 2002”

“"I want to be the greatest. But in what? In loving people and loving God!" Saint Maximilian Kolbe - Knight of the Immaculate, The Society of the Holy Rosary.”

“"Hate is not a creative force. Love is a creative force." Saint Maximilian Kolbe - Knight of the Immaculate, The Society of the Holy Rosary.”

“"No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hetacombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we are ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?" Saint Maximilian Kolbe - Knight of the Immaculate, The Society of the Holy Rosary.”

“A person is great and becomes a witness and a teacher, capable of leaving an authentic message to the world, not so much on account of what one says or writes, but for what one is and what one achieves. What one says or writes deserves attention only insomuch as it is an expression of what one is or does.Maximilian Maria Kolbe. The Writings of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe - Volume I - Letters . Nerbini International. Kindle Edition.”

““Modern times are dominated by Satan and will be more so in the future. The conflict with Hell cannot be engaged by men, even the most clever. The Immaculata alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan.” As quoted in Smith, Fr. Jeremiah J.. The Knight of the Immaculate: Father Maximilian Kolbe . Normanby Press. Kindle Edition.”

“He who wants to live the supernatural life clings to the Mother of Divine Grace. He who wants to convert and sanctify himself must have recourse to the Mother of God, for she is the Mediatrix of all graces. This mystery, that we receive everything through the Immaculata, is still little known. That is why we must propagate it; more, we must conquer the whole world to the Immaculata.Kolbe, St. Maximilian. Let Yourself Be Led by the Immaculata . Angelus Press. Kindle Edition.”

“He who loves will know the Immaculata much more than a philosopher or a theologian.Kolbe, St. Maximilian. Let Yourself Be Led by the Immaculata . Angelus Press. Kindle Edition.”
