Better a holy discord than a profane concord.
He who demands mercy and shows none ruins the bridge over which he himself is to pass.
He who is proud of his knowledge, has gout in the wrong end.
No man more truly loves God than he that is most fearful to offend Him.
Let us not make the poor our friends by our alms, not our enemies by our scorns. We had better have the ears of God full of their prayers, than heaps of money in our own coffers with their curses.
Sense of sin may be often great, and more felt than grace; yet not be more than grace. A man feels the ache of his finger more sensibly than the health of his whole body; yet he knows that the ache of a finger is nothing so much as the health of the whole body.
