Let anyone laugh and taunt if he so wishes. I am not keeping silent, nor am I hiding the signs and wonders that were shown to me by the Lord many years before they happened, who knew everything, even before the beginning of time.

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.

I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain.

No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God.

Christ before me, Christ behind me,Christ in me.

Never trust a dog to watch your food.

For after chastisement from God, and recognizing him, our way to repay him is to exalt him and confess his wonders before every nation under heaven.
