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

People pretend not to like grapes when the vines are too high for them to reach

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.

God always helps madmen, lovers, and drunkards.

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

Blessed ... is he who has it in his power to do evil, yet does it not.
