To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.

All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.

The glory of the good is in their consciences, and not in the tongues of men.

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.

Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.

He is truly great who hath a great charity.

Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
