The Church of Christ has been founded by shedding its own blood, not that of others; by enduring outrage, not by inflicting it. Persecutions have made it grow; martyrdoms have crowned it.

A false interpretation of Scripture causes that the gospel of the Lord becomes the gospel of man, or, which is worse, of the devil.

They please the world most, who please Christ least.

It is no fault of Christianity that a hypocrite falls into sin.

Marriage fills the Earth, virginity Heaven.

Virginity can be lost by a thought.

A fat stomach never breeds fine thoughts.
