A theologian is born by living, nay dying and being damned, not by thinking, reading, or speculating.

Sacred scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth.

He who hears this name [God] from a Jew must inform the authorities, or else throw sow dung at him when he sees him and chase him away.

Nothing is more beautiful in the eyes of God than a soul that loves to hear His Word.

When I am assailed with heavy tribulations, I rush out among my pigs rather than remain alone by myself. The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away. So the human heart, unless it be occupied with some employment, leaves space for the devil, who wriggles himself in and brings with him a whole host of evil thoughts, temptations, and tribulations, which grind out the heart.

An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
