Christian life consists of faith and charity

Human nature is like a drunk peasant. Lift him into the saddle on one side, over he topples on the other side.

If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.

A simple man with Scripture has more authority than the Pope or a council.

Many sweat to reconcile St Paul and St James, but in vain. 'Faith justifies' and 'faith does not justify' contradict each other flatly. If any one can harmonize them I will give him my doctor's hood and let him call me a fool.

The priest is not made. He must be born a priest; must inherit his office. I refer to the new birth-the birth of water and the Spirit. Thus all Christians must became priests, children of God and co-heirs with Christ the Most High Priest.

God scorns and mocks the devil, in setting under his very nose a poor, weak, human creature, mere dust and ashes, yet endowed with the firstfruits of the Spirit, against whom the devil can do nothing.
