Woman -a foe of friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil.

What prayer could be more true before God the Father than that which the Son, who is Truth, uttered with His own lips?

God loves us more than a father, mother, friend, or any else could love, and even more than we are able to love ourselves.

There are many poor men and poor women: set apart some one constantly to remain there: let the poor man be though but as a guard to thy house: let him be to thee wall and fence, shield and spear. Where alms are, the devil dares not approach, nor any other evil thing.

It brings comfort to have companions in whatever happens.

The test of sincerity of one's prayer is the willingness to labor on its behalf.

It is simply impossible to lead, without the aid of prayer, a virtuous life.
