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

On the one hand, undeserved success gives no satisfaction... but, on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either.

Man's nature, so to speak, is a perpetual factory of idols.
