Oh how swiftly the glory of the world passes away! If only the lives of these men had been as admirable as their learning, their study and reading would have been to good purpose! But how many in this world care little for the service of God, and perish in their vain learning. Because they choose to be great rather than humble, they perish in their own conceit.

Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.

Do not read to satisfy curiosity or to pass the time, but study such things as move your heart to devotion.

Thou shalt ever joy at eventide if thou spend the day fruitfully.

Two wings lift a person up from earthly concerns: Simplicity in intention, and Purity in feeling.

What thou art, that thou art; that God knoweth thee to be and thou canst be said to be no greater.

He rides pleasantly enough whom the grace of God carries.
