All the wonders you seek are within yourself.
As reason is a rebel to faith, so passion is a rebel to reason.
There is no royal road or ready way to virtue.
I have loved my friends as I do virtue, my soul, my God.
Men have lost their reason in nothing so much as their religion, wherein stones and clouts make martyrs.
Yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.
