I am a Christian. He who answers thus has declared everything at once-his country, profession, family; the believer belongs to no city on earth but to the heavenly Jerusalem.

Thus abide constantly with the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, so that the heart swallows the Lord and the Lord the heart, and the two become one.

Hell is paved with priests' skulls.

O most grateful burden, which comforts them that carry it! The burdens of earthly masters gradually wear out the strength of those who carry them; but the burden of Christ assists the bearers of it, because we carry not grace, but grace us.

Nothing causes us to so nearly resemble God as the forgiveness of injuries.

Is it not excessively ridiculous to seek the good opinion of those whom you would never wish to be like?

Every family should have a room where Christ is welcome in the person of the hungry and thirsty stranger.
