As iron cast into fire loses its rust and becomes glowing white, so he who turns completely to God is stripped of his sluggishness and changed into a new man.

Love flies, runs, leaps for joy; it is free and unrestrained. Love gives all for all, resting in One who is highest above all things, from whom every good flows and proceeds. Love does not regard the gifts, but turns to the Giver of all good gifts. Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength; love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. Love therefore does great things; it is strange and effective; while he who lacks love faints and fails.

Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!

The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.

Christ was willing to suffer wrongs and to be despised, and do you dare to complain of anything?.

Old custom is hard to break and scarce any man will be led otherwise than seemeth good unto himself.

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