To touch God a little with our mind is a great blessing, to grasp him is impossible.

It is not in virtue of its liberty that the human will attains to grace, it is much rather by grace that it attains to liberty.

Punishment is justice for the unjust.

Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder.

The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.

A brotherly person rejoices on my account when he approves me, but when he disapproves, he is loving me. To such people I will reveal myself. They will take heart from my good traits, and sigh with sadness at my bad ones. My good points are instilled by you and are your gifts. My bad points are my faults and your judgements on them. Let them take heart from the one and regret the other. Let both praise and tears ascend in your sight from brotherly hearts, your censers. ...But you Lord...Make perfect my imperfections.

We judge all things according to the divine truth.
