For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.

For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you "today" never comes to an end: and yet our "today" does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply "today."

We come to God by love and not by navigation.

Lord, who art always the same, give that I know myself, give that I know Thee.

There never can have been, and never can be, and there never shall be any sin without pride.

It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.

Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
