The devil makes small sins seem smaller in our eyes, for otherwise he can't lead us to greater evil.

A man who is enticed by sinful thoughts is blinded by them, and he sees the action of sin in himself, but he can not see the cause of this action.

We cannot with all our heart forgive someone who does us wrong unless we possess real knowledge. For this knowledge shows us that we deserve all we experience.

The sign of sincere love is to forgive wrongs done to us. It was with such love that the Lord loved the world.

It is better to pray with good will for our neighbor, rather than to denounce him for every sin.

Whatever we do or say without prayer always ends up either sinful or harmful and convicts us through the deeds in some mysterious way.

Failure to do the good that is within your power is hard to forgive. But mercy and prayer reclaim the negligent.
