We should never use the truth to wound.

Now, may our God be our hope. He Who made all things is better than all things. He Who made all beautiful things is more beautiful than all of them. He Who made all mighty things is more mighty than all of them. He Who made all great things is greater than all of them. Learn to love the Creator in His creature, and the maker in what He has made.

So give to the poor; I'm begging you, I'm warning you, I'm commanding you, I'm ordering you.

God has no need of your money, but the poor have. You give it to the poor, and God receives it.

Your first task is to be dissatisfied with yourself, fight sin, and transform yourself into something better. Your second task is to put up with the trials and temptations of this world that will be brought on by the change in your life and to persevere to the very end in the midst of these things.

Imagine the vanity of thinking that your enemy can do you more damage than your enmity.

Doubt is but another element of faith.
