Never shall a man attain to the perfect love of God who has not loved to perfection some creature in this world.

God always helps madmen, lovers, and drunkards.

Though jealousy be produced by love, as ashes are by fire, yet jealousy extinguishes love as ashes smother the flame.

I never knew a mocker who was not mocked, a deceiver who was not deceived, or a proud man who was not humbled.

Never shall a man attain to the perfect love of God who has not loved to perfection some creature in this world.

Some there are who are much more ashamed of confessing a sin than of committing it.

When one has one good day in the year, one is not wholly unfortunate.
