To live in God is death; to die in God is life.

Words are naught but wind, and the fairest promises like dreams that take flight with the morning.

All the vices lead to fortune when they are joined with the vilest of all--avarice. This is the secret of life.

Remain steadfast in the faith; instruct yourself; bridle your tongue; repress your wrath; forbear to do evil; associate with the good; screen the faults of your neighbour; relieve the poor by your alms; and expect your reward in eternity.

God alone is true; God alone is great; alone is God.

The day of death ... is one of the five mysteries, the key of which God holds in his own hands.

With patience everything comes in due season.
