Idiots, the lame, the blind, the dumb, are men in whom the devils have established themselves: and all the physicians who heal these infirmities, as though they proceeded from natural causes, are ignorant blockheads.

I cannot believe that my illness is natural. I suspect Satan, and therefore I am the more inclined to take it lightly.

The Deceiver can magnify a little sin for the purpose of causing one to worry, torture, and kill oneself with it. This is why a Christian should learn not to let anyone easily create an evil conscience in him. Rather let him say, "This error and this failing pass away with my other imperfections and sins, which I must include in the article of faith: I believe in the forgiveness of sins.

The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.

Human nature is like a drunk peasant. Lift him into the saddle on one side, over he topples on the other side.

Grace was not given to heal the spiritually sick but to decorate spiritual heroes!

I can't keep the sparrows from flying around my head, but I can keep them from making a nest in my hair.
