Whoever puts his confidence in men or in any creature is very foolish.
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
Of what use is a long life, if we amend so little? Alas, a long life often adds to our sins rather than to our virtue!
Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.
Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.
Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.
