The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

I have so much to do today, I'll need to spend another hour on my knees.

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.

World, death, devil, hell, away and leave me in peace! You have no hold on me. If you will not let me live, then I will die. But you won't succeed in that. Chop my head off, and it won't harm me. I have a God who will give me a new one.

Our loving God wills that we eat, drink and be merry.

No great saint lived without errors.
