God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.

It is not that we keep His commandments first and that then He loves but that He loves us and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace which is revealed to the humble but hidden from the proud.

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.

What do you possess if you possess not God?

The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.

What is reprehensible is that while leading good lives themselves and abhorring those of wicked men, some, fearing to offend, shut their eyes to evil deeds instead of condemning them and pointing out their malice.

Doubt is but another element of faith.
