Publish not men's secret faults, for by disgracing them you make yourself of no repute.
Better hold the hand for coin, though small, Than lose, for one half a dang, it all.
Religion is only in the service of the people; it is not in the rosary and the prayer-carpet.
Be not so severe as to cause shyness, nor so clement as to encourage boldness.
Anger that has no limit causes terror, and unseasonable kindness does away with respect. Be not so severe as to cause disgust, nor so lenient as to make people presume.
Great God, have pity on the wicked, for thou didst everything for the good, when thou madest them good!
