I make bold to say that it is profitable for the proud to fall, in order that they may be humbled in that for which they have exalted themselves.

Someone who knows enough to become the owner of a tree, and gives thanks to you for the benefits it brings him, is in a better state, even if ignorant of its height in feet and the extent of its spread, than another who measures and counts all its branches but neither owns it nor knows its creator nor loves him.

Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to His love, and the future to His providence.

God in his omnipotence could not give more, in His wisdom He knew not how to give more, in His riches He had not more to give, than the Eucharist.

The greatest kindness one can render to any man is leading him to truth.

You don't love in your enemies what they are, but what you would have them become by your prayers.

It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
