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

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

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

God values deeds according to their intentions. For it is said, "The Lord grant unto you according to your heart" (Ps. 19:5) ... Therefore, whoever wants to do something but can't is considered as having done it by God, who sees the intentions of our hearts. This applies to both good and evil deeds alike.

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

Whoever does not fight the one who despises him, neither in word not in thought, has received true knowledge and demonstrates a firm trust in God.

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