As water and fire oppose one another when combined, so are self-justification and humility opposed to one another.

No one is as good and merciful as the Lord. But even He does not forgive the unrepentant.

If someone puts his trust in God in a matter, let him not argue with his brother about it.

Conquer temptations by the patience and prayer. If you oppose them without these, you will fall all the more severely.

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