Blessed is he who devotes his life to great and noble ends, and who forms his well-considered plans with deliberate wisdom.

And I entered and beheld with the eye of my soul... the Light Unchangeable... He that knows the Truth, knows what that Light is; and he that knows It, knows Eternity.

Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.

Let the Lord your God be your hope – seek for nothing else from him, but let him himself be your hope. There are people who hope from him riches or perishable and transitory honours, in short they hope to get from God things which are not God himself.

Do not believe yourself healthy. Immortality is health; this life is a long sickness.

When God is our strength, it is strength indeed; when our strength is our own, it is only weakness.

It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
