Always be ready; always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.

You will never be an inwardly religious and devout man unless you pass over in silence the shortcomings of your fellow men, and diligently examine your own weaknesses.

If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.

Let temporal things serve thy use, but the eternal be the object of thy desire.

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.

Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience

He that loveth, flieth, runneth, and rejoiceth. He is free, and cannot be held in. He giveth all for all, and hath all in all, because he resteth in one highest above all things, from whom all that is good flows and proceeds.
