Sacred scripture is like a mirror in which we see God, although each in a different way.

What is true is true, and what is false is false.

If love is not married to wisdom (or if goodness is not married to truth), it cannot accomplish anything.

Every one may know that to will and not to do, when there is opportunity, is in reality not to will; and that to love what is good and not to do it, when it is possible, is in reality not to love it. Will, which stops short of action, and love, which does not do the good that is loved, is a mere thought separate from will and love, which vanishes and comes to nothing.

We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.

Man is so created that as to his internal he cannot die; for he is capable of believing in God, and thus of being conjoined to God by faith and love, and to be conjoined to God is to live to eternity.

One's distance from Heaven is in proportion to the measure of one's self-love.
