In proportion as our own mind is enlarged we discover a greater number of men of originality. Commonplace people see no difference between one man and another.

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too.

Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.

If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past or the future.

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

The Church limits her sacramental services to the faithful. Christ gave Himself upon the cross a ransom for all.
