Peace is not to be purchased by the sacrifice of truth.

If people mean that man has in himself the power to work in partnership with God's grace they are most wretchedly deluding themselves.

Involvement in public life provides the opportunity to shape our manners in accordance with civil justice.

If we are proud of our talents we betray our lack of gratitude to God.

We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.

There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.

They who prematurely put themselves forward to root out whatever is displeasing to them overthrow the judgment of God and rashly intrude upon the office of angels.
