To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.

Fear is such a powerful emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion right out of our hearts.

Better to illuminate than merely to shine; to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.

God has no need for our worship. It is we who need to show our gratitude for what we have received.

Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.

As the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods.

I would rather feel compassion than know the meaning of it. I would hope to act with compassion without thinking of personal gain.
