Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.

The bible is the cradle that holds the Christ, without him it is nothing more than wood and straw.

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

Our office...subjects us to great burdens and labors, dangers and temptations, with little reward or gratitude from the world. But Christ himself will be our reward if we labor faithfully.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.

The Gospel is nothing less than laughter and joy.
