I wish not merely to be called Christian, but also to be Christian.

It is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.

I would rather die for Christ than rule the whole earth.

See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. [] Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. [] Whatsoever [the bishop] shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.

Now I begin to be a disciple. Let fire and cross, flocks of beasts, broken bones, dismemberment come upon me, so long as I attain to Jesus Christ.

Let us therefore be of a reverent spirit, and fear the long-suffering of God, that it tend not to our condemnation.

It is better to be silent and be real than to talk and not be real.
