God is more anxious to bestow his blessings on us than we are to receive them.

There is no salvation outside the church.

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

Even in waging war, cherish the spirit of peace-maker; that, by conquering those whom you attack, you may lead them back to the advantages of peace.

They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.

For why, my brothers and sisters, would you rejoice in silver? Either your silver will perish, or you will, and no one knows which will perish first. For neither can you remain here always, nor can silver remain here always; so also with gold, wardrobes, houses, money, real estate-and in the end, even the light by which we enjoy all these things. So do not be willing then to rejoice in such things as these. Rejoice instead in the light that has no setting; rejoice in the dawn which no yesterday precedes, and no tomorrow follows.
