The true wisdom of man consists in the knowledge of God the creator and Redeemer.

No man can survey himself without forthwith turning his thoughts towards the God in whom he lives and moves; because it is perfectly obvious, that the endowments which we possess cannot possibly be from ourselves; nay, that our very being is nothing else than subsistence in God alone.

Prayers will never reach God unless they are founded on free mercy.

The answer of our prayers is secured by the fact that in rejecting them God would in a certain sense deny His own nature.

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.

Things that are seen are temporal; things that are unseen are eternal.

We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
