All the arts come from God and are to be respected as divine inventions

We ought always to beware of making the smallest claim for ourselves.

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!

He who has learned to look to God in everything he does is at the same time diverted from all vain thoughts.

Those who fall away have never been thoroughly imbued with the knowledge of Christ but only had a slight and passing taste of it.

Faith and hope...are the wings by which our souls, rising above the world, are lifted up to God.

Since we are all naturally prone to hypocrisy, any empty semblance of righteousness is quite enough to satisfy us instead of righteousness itself.
