Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo (Give me chastity and continence, but not just yet)!

Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith? Remember each morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.

For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his own self-praise.

Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.

My weight is my love.

I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.

A man may lose the good things of this life against his will; but if he loses the eternal blessings, he does so with his own consent.
