I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.

The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who will not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends, to sit among roses and lilies, not with the bad people but the devout people.

It is certainly true that reason is the most important and the highest rank among all things and, in comparison with other things of this life, the best and something divine.

Everything is from God himself, both commandment and fulfillment. He alone commands; he alone fulfills.

Reason should be destroyed in all Christians.
