Don't you believe that there is in man a deep so profound as to be hidden even to him in whom it is?

What grace is meant to do is to help good people, not to escape their sufferings, but to bear them with a stout heart, with a fortitude that finds its strength in faith.

It is a sin to judge any man by his post

I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me.

Sin is to a nature what blindness is to an eye. The blindness of an evil or defect which is a witness to the fact that the eye was created to see the light and, hence, the very lack of sight is the proof that the eye was meant... to be the one particularly capable of seeing the light. Were it not for this capacity, there would be no reason to think of blindness as a misforture.

Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.

Should you ask me what is the first thing in religion, I should reply that the first, second, and third thing therein is humility.
