Elegance of language must give way before simplicity in preaching sound doctrine.
Girolamo SavonarolaThe only good thing that we owe to Plato and Aristotle is that they brought forward many arguments which we can use against the heretics. Yet they and other philosophers are now in hell.
Girolamo SavonarolaIf there be no enemy, no fight; if do fight, no victory; if no victory, no crown.
Girolamo SavonarolaSome have narrowed their minds, and so fettered them with the chains of antiquity that not only do they refuse to speak save as the ancients spake, but they refuse to think save as the ancients thought. God speaks to us, too, and the best thoughts are those now being vouchsafed to us. We will excel the ancients!
