Blessedness is not the reward of virtue but virtue itself.
If anyone conceives, that an object of his love joins itself to another with closer bonds of friendship than he himself has attained to, he will be affected with hatred towards the loved object and with envy towards his rival.
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.
Blessed are the weak who think that they are good because they have no claws.
He that can carp in the most eloquent or acute manner at the weakness of the human mind is held by his fellows as almost divine.
