May the Lord fill you with His blessings and with hatred of the Pope.

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

But know that to serve God is nothing else than to serve your neighbor and do good to him in love, be it a child, wife, servant, enemy, friend....If you do not find yourself among the needy and the poor, where the Gospel shows us Christ, then you may know that your faith is not right, and that you have not yet tasted of Christ's benevolence and work for you.

All laws and philosophy merely tell us what should be done, but they do not provide the strength to do it.

If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ aright.

from you, my dear Erasmus, let me obtain this request, that just as I bear with your ignorance in these matters, so you in turn will bear with my lack of eloquence.

Christ desires nothing more of us than that we speak of him.
