Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.

In knowing God, each of us also knows himself.

We are nowhere forbidden to laugh, or be satisfied with food...or to be delighted with music or to drink wine.

In vain people busy themselves with finding any good of man's own in his will. For any mixture of the power of freewill that men strive to mingle with God's grace is nothing but a corruption of grace. It is just as if one were to dilute wine with muddy, bitter water.

There is no wisdom but that which is founded on the fear of God, which Solomon also declares to be the chief part of wisdom.
