Nothing will divide the church so much as the love of power.

Fasting of the body is food for the soul.

If there were no tribulation, there would be no rest; if there were no winter, there would be no summer.

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

Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.

No matter how just your words may be, when you speak with anger, you ruin all: no matter how boldly you speak, how fairly reprove, or what not.

The pains of hell are not the greatest part of hell; the loss of heaven is the weightiest woe of hell.
