Against the persecution of a tyrant the godly have no remedy but prayer.

No one can travel so far that he does not make some progess each day. So let us never give up. Then we shall move forward daily in the Lord's way. And let us never despair because of our limited success. Even though it is so much less than we would like, our labour is not wasted when today is better than yesterday!

The fire of affliction reveals the quality of our faith

It is only the goodness of God sensibly experienced by us which opens our mouth to celebrate His praise.

Bien que les étoiles ne parlent pas, même en étant silencieux, ils crient. Although the stars do not speak, even in being silent they cry out.

When we know God to be our Father, should we not desire that he be known as such by all? And if we do not have this passion, that all creatures do him homage, is it not a sign that his glory means little to us?

The principle exercise which the children of god have is to pray. For in this way they give true proof of their faith.
