The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.

I can take credit for only two things: pride and sin.

So passes away the glory of this world. ('Sic transit gloria mundi.')

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.

Of two evils we must always choose the least.

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

Be therefore thankful for the least gift, so shalt thou be worthy to receive greater.
