Do not wish to jump immediately from the streams to the sea, because one has to go through easier things to the more difficult.

Theology is taught by God, teaches God, and leads to God.

As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary.

He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul's health in heaven.

A scrap of knowledge about sublime things is worth more than any amount about trivialities.

Every judgement of conscience, be it right or wrong, be it about things evil in themselves or morally indifferent, is obligatory, in such wise that he who acts against his conscience always sins.

Not everything that is more difficult is more meritorious.
