is it quote or quotation?

A rather random assortment of quotes concerning Christianity and Politics, from a book of the same name!

"We are all in some way aware that in this passing world it is not possible to realize the full measure of justice... Justice is, in a certain way, greater than man, than the dimensions of his earthly life. Every man lives and dies with a certain sense of insatiability for justice, because the world is not capable of satisfying fully a being created in the image of God."

- John Paul II, Pope, General Audience, Rome.
November 8, 1978

"What this really means, of course, is that political theory is not very 'evolutionary' at all. The ancients recognized quite clearly that corruption and decline were as much a part of its subject matter as growth and virtue. The very greatest thing the student today can be told is that we can be worse than our ancestors. We do not have to be better, nor are we necessarily so. If any generation of mankind does not at least know that, it is simply being deceived, or more properly, deceiving itself."

- Fr. James Schall, S.J., Christianity and Politics
1981

"No earthly pleasures, no kingdom of this world can benefit me in any way. I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the Earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire."

- St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr,
Letter to the Romans. 107 AD

"The Catholic Church, that imperishable handiwork of our all-merciful God, has for her immediate and natural purpose the saving of souls and securing our happiness in Heaven. Yet, in regard to things temporal, she is the source of benefits as manifold and great as if the chief end of her existence were to ensure the prospering of our earthly life."

- Leo XIII, Pope, Immortale Dei
All Souls' Day. 1885

Thanks, Father Schall.
