I urge you to spend your youth profitably in study and virtue.... In brief, let me see in you an abyss of knowledge.

Go, all of you poor people, in the name of God the Creator, and let him forever be your guide. And henceforth, do not be beguiledby these idle and useless pilgrimages. See to your families, and work, each one of you, in your vocation, raise your children, and live as the good Apostle Paul teaches you.

I am going to seek a great perhaps.

I do not drink more than a sponge.

It is better to write of laughter than of tears, for laughter is the property of man.

Between two stools one sits on the ground.

I drink eternally. For me it is an eternity of drinking, and a drinking up of eternity.
