I became evil for no reason. I had no motive for my wickedness except wickedness itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved the self-destruction, I loved my fall, not the object for which I had fallen but my fall itself. My depraved soul leaped down from your firmament to ruin. I was seeking not to gain anything by shameful means, but shame for its own sake.

One can't reach the Truth but through Love.

A Christian should be an Alleluia from head to foot

Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms.

God bestows more consideration on the purity of the intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves.

For in our hope we are saved.

Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
