The name of Christ excludes all merit of our own.

Wherefore all theology, when separated from Christ, is not only vain and confused, but is also mad, deceitful, and spurious; for, though the philosophers sometimes utter excellent sayings, yet they have nothing but what is short-lived, and even mixed up with wicked and erroneous sentiments.

For our hearts are enfeebled by prosperity, so that we cannot make the effort to pray.

The evil in our desires typically does not lie in what we want, but that we want it too much.

Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.

Every person, on coming to the knowledge of himself, is not only urged to seek God, but is also led as by the hand to find Him.

All the more vile is the stupidity of those persons who open heaven to all the impious and unbelieving without the grace of Him whom Scripture commonly teaches to be the only door whereby we enter into salvation.
