Our own evil inclinations are far more dangerous than any external enemies.

When we find ouselves in some grave danger we must not lose courage but firmly trust in God, for where there is the greatest danger, there is also the greatest help from Him who wants to be called our 'Help' in times of peace and in times of tribulation.

If you are at Rome live in the Roman style; if you are elsewhere live as they live elsewhere.

Love is like a shadow, one can only catch it by falling into it.

... the Apostle Paul says that we are sealed in the Spirit (cf. Eph. 1:13); since we have in the Son the image of the Father, and in the Spirit the seal of the Son. Let us, then, sealed by this Trinity, take more diligent heed, lest either levity of character or the deceit of any unfaithfulness unseal the pledge which we have received in our hearts.

The Psalms are the voices of the church.

When you are at Rome, live as Romans live.
