Unthankfulness is theft.

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

He who is well acquainted with the text of scripture, is a distinguished theologian. For a Bible passage or text is of more value than the comments of four authors.

I must remain a child and pupil of the Catechism, and am glad so to remain.

Without armaments peace cannot be kept; wars are waged not only to repel injustice but also to establish a firm peace.

World, death, devil, hell, away and leave me in peace! You have no hold on me. If you will not let me live, then I will die. But you won't succeed in that. Chop my head off, and it won't harm me. I have a God who will give me a new one.

I did not learn my theology all at once, but had to search constantly deeper and deeper for it. My temptations did that for me, for no one can understand Holy Scripture without practice and temptations...I t is not by reading, writing, or speculation that one becomes a theologian. Nay, rather, it is living, dying, and being damned that makes one a theologian.
