God has not revealed all things to man and has entrusted us with but a fragment of His mighty work. But He who directs all things, who has established and laid the foundation of the world, who has clothed Himself with Creation, He is greater and better than that which He has wrought. Hidden from our eyes, He can only be reached by the spirit.

True love can fear no one.

There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.

The vices of idleness are only to be shaken off by active employment.

True friends are the whole world to one another; and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others; for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.

He invites the commission of a crime who does not forbid it, when it is in his power to do so.

That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.
