A man must completely despair of himself in order to become fit to obtain the grace of Christ.

We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished.

What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed.

Now just behold these miserable, blind, and senseless people.

The world says of marriage: A short joy and a long displeasure. But he who understands it finds in it delight, love, and joy without ceasing.

This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.

Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
