No man is without his load of trouble.

As iron put into the fire loseth its rust and becometh clearly red-hot, so he that wholly turneth himself unto God puts off all slothfulness, and is transformed into a new man.

Faith is required of thee, and a sincere life, not loftiness of intellect, nor deepness in the mysteries of God.

Man considers the actions, but God weighs the intentions.

If you want to learn something that will really help you, learn to see yourself as God sees you and not as you see yourself in the distorted mirror of your own self-importance.

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

We are often moved with passion and think it to be zeal.
