He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.

The Study of philosophy is not that we may know what men have thought, but what the truth of things is.

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

Better to illuminate than merely to shine.

It is a sin to regard the fact that God cannot do the impossible as a limitation on his powers.

The magnitude of the punishment matches the magnitude of the sin. Now a sin that is against God is infinite; the higher the person against whom it is committed, the graver the sin-it is more criminal to strike a head of state than a private citizen-and God is of infinite greatness. Therefore an infinite punishment is deserved for a sin committed against Him.

It is a sin directly against one's neighbour, since one man cannot over-abound in external riches, without another man lacking them.
