God hath promised pardon to him that repenteth, but he hath not promised repentance to him that sinneth.
Anselm of CanterburyGod often works more by the life of the illiterate seeking the things that are God's, than by the ability of the learned seeking the things that are their own.
Anselm of CanterburyI do not try, Lord, to attain Your lofty heights, because my understanding is in no way equal to it. But I do desire to understand Your truth a little, that truth that my heart believes and loves. I do not seek to understand that I may believe; but I believe so that I may understand. For I believe this also, that unless I believe, I shall not understand.
Anselm of Canterbury
