A humble knowledge of ourselves is a surer way to God than is the search for depth of learning.

We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.

Would to God that we might spend a single day really well!

At the least bear patiently, if thou canst not joyfully.

It is better to be affected with a true penitent sorrow for sin than to be able to resolve the most difficult cases about it.

For things that worth little or nothing we care a lot; and we oversight what is necessary; because every man goes towards the exterior; and if he doesn't regain consciousness quickly, with pleasure remain involved in it.

For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.
