The Bible was composed in such a way that as beginners mature, its meaning grows with them.

Doubt is but another element of faith.

We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.

The Gods occupy the loftiest regions, men the lowest, the demons the middle region...They have immortality of body, but passions of the mind in common with men.

Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.

Let no one flatter himself; of himself he is Satan. Let man take sin, which is his own, and leave righteousness with God.

When I am completely united to You, there will be no more sorrow or trials; entirely full of You, my life will be complete.
