Maternity is a glorious thing, since all mankind has been conceived, born, and nourished of women. All human laws should encourage the multiplication of families.

It is God who creates, effects, and preserves all things through his almighty.

The Devil, it is true, is not exactly a doctor who has taken degrees, but he is very learned, very expert for all that. He has not been carrying on his business during thousands of years for nothing.

The soul can do without everything except the word of God, without which none at all of its wants are provided for.

For what God gives I thank indeed; What He withholds I do not need

God works by contraries so that a man feels himself to be lost in the very moment when he is on the point of being saved.

When the devil wants to cause offense against the true doctrine and faith, he does not do so through insignificant people, who do not rate highly with the world, but through those who are the very best, the wisest, the holiest, and the most learned.
