Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God.

Truth and love are two of the most powerful things in the world; and when they both go together they cannot easily be withstood.

The golden beams of truth and the silken cords of love, twisted together, will draw men on with a sweet violence, whether they will or not.
