If there is something more excellent than the truth, then that is God; if not, then truth itself is God.

A Christian should be an Alleluia from head to foot

Blessedness consists in the accomplishment of our desires, and in our having only regular desires.

No one can begin a new life, unless he repent of the old.

The wicked have told me of things that delight them, but not such things as your law has to tell.

God does not give heed to the ambitiousness of our prayers, because he is always ready to give to us his light, not a visible light but an intellectual and spiritual one; but we are not always ready to receive it when we turn aside and down to other things out of a desire for temporal things.

To seek the greatest good is to live well, and to live well is nothing other than to love God with the whole heart, the whole soul, and the whole mind: It is therefore obvious that this love must be kept whole and uncorrupt, that is temperance; it should not be overcome with difficulties, that is fortitude, it must not be subservient to anything else, that is justice; it must discriminate among things so as not to be deceived by falsity or fraud, that is prudence.
