The Jews were God's chosen people.

Whether or not our prayer is heard depends not on the number of our words, but on the fervor of our souls.

The Jews were God's chosen people.

When you are weary of praying, and do not receive, consider how often you have heard a poor man calling, and have not listened to him.

Good men do not always have grace and favor, lest they should be puffed up, and grow insolent and proud.

Every time that we sin, we are born of the devil. But every time that we do good, we are born of God.

God helps those who work, not those who are idle. No one helps an inactive person, but one who joins in the labor. The good God himself will bring...work to perfection.
