Love knows nothing of order.

I praise wedlock, I praise marital union, but only because they produce me virgins.

When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.

A vice in the heart is an idol on the altar.

Avoid, as you would the plague, a clergyman who is also a man of business.

Nothing is hard for lovers, no labor is difficult for those who wish it.

Instead of speaking saintly words we must act them.
