Bien que les étoiles ne parlent pas, même en étant silencieux, ils crient. Although the stars do not speak, even in being silent they cry out.

The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ efficaciously unites us to himself.

Our true wisdom is to embrace with meek docility, and without reservation, whatever the holy scriptures have delivered.

Prosperity inebriates men, so that they take delights in their own merits.

Christians rejoice even while they truly sorrow - because their rejoicing is in the hope of heaven... While joy overcomes sorrow, it does not put an end to it.

We shall never be clothed with the righteousness of Christ except we first know assuredly that we have no righteousness of our own.

Assuredly there is but one way in which to achieve what is not merely difficult but utterly against human nature: to love those who hate us, to repay their evil deeds with benefits, to return blessings for reproaches. It is that we remember not to consider men's evil intention but to look upon the image of God in them, which cancels and effaces their transgressions, and with its beauty and dignity allures us to love and embrace them.
