Nothing is more sweet than harmony in marriage, and nothing more distressing than dissension.

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.

The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough.

Grace remits sin, and peace quiets the conscience. Sin and conscience torment us, but Christ has overcome these fiends now and forever.

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.

Against the flying ball no valor avails.

Despair makes priests and friars.
