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.

The Heavenly City outshines Rome beyond comparison. There, instead of victory, is truth; instead of high rank, holiness; instead of peace, felicity; instead of life, eternity.

No one can have God as his father who does not have the Church as his mother.

I believe in order to understand

In what is necessary, unity; in what is not necessary, liberty and in all things charity.

He who falls, falls by his own will, and he who stands, stands by God's will.
