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

We must receive the one who curses us as a messenger from God, rebuking our hidden evil thoughts, so that we, seeing our thoughts with exactness, might correct ourselves. For we do not know how many hidden evils we have; Only a perfect man can understand all of his own shortcomings.

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

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

Do not think about or do anything without a spiritual purpose, whereby it is done for God. For If you travel without purpose, you shall labor in vain.

One evil receives strength from another. In the same way, good deeds also sprout one from another, and the one in whom they are found grows larger.

If you want the Lord to hide your sins, then don't talk to people about what kind of virtues you have. For as we relate to our virtues, so God relates to our sins.
