If you enroll as one of God's people, then heaven is your country and God your lawgiver.

It is not your outward appearance that you should beautify, but your soul, adorning it with good works.

For, in truth, an image is only dead matter shaped by the craftsman's hand. But we have no sensible image of sensible matter, but an image that is perceived by the mind alone: God, who alone is truly God.

He who knows himself knows god.

Prayer is happy company with God.

If God rewarded the righteous immediately, we would soon be engaged in business, not godliness...we would be pursuing not piety,but profit.

Therefore let us repent and pass from ignorance to knowledge, from foolishness to wisdom, from licentiousness to self-control, from injustice to righteousness, from godlessness to God.
