Christianity is not a law of bondage; and if it respect the hand of God which sometimes raises up tyrants, it draws up where obedience degenerates into guilty cowardice.

The Church had the words reason and liberty on her lips when the inalienable rights of the human race were threatened with shipwreck.

Real excellence and humility are not incompatible one with the other, on the contrary they are twin sisters.

In relations between the rich and the strong, between the rich and the poor, between the master and the servant, it's liberty that grinds down, and the law which liberates.

Only three things are necessary to make life happy: the blessing of God, books , and a friend.

For Christians, the first of books is the Gospel and the Rosary is actually the abridgement of the Gospel.

Christianity is not a law of bondage; and if it respect the hand of God which sometimes raises up tyrants, it draws up where obedience degenerates into guilty cowardice.
