The sin both of men and of angels, was rendered possible by the fact that God gave us free will.

Jesus was either a Liar, a Lunatic, or Lord

He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.

In silence and in meditation on the eternal truths, I hear the voice of God which excites our hearts to greater love.

There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them.

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary.
