You can only learn what obedience is by obeying

Wherever it pleases God to put man in this world, the Christian must be ready for martyrdom and death. It is only in this way that man learns faith.

Christian love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more bitter our enemy's hatred, the greater his need of love.

Being free means "being free for the other," because the other has bound me to him. Only in relationship with the other am I free

No sacrifice which a lover would make for his beloved is too great for us to make for our enemy.

One's task is not to turn the world upside down, but to do what is necessary at the given place and with a due consideration of reality.

Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives the big things.
