Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man's wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.

It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.

Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.

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

Make friends with angels.

Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
