A marriage without children is the world without the sun.Christ is not valued at all unless He is valued above all.Faith is to believe what you do not yet see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe.For what is faith unless it is to believe what you do not see?God chooses us, not because we believe, but that we may believe.God is not a deceiver, that he should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.God will not suffer man to have a knowledge of things to come; for if he had prescience of his prosperity, he would be careless; and if understanding of his adversity, he would be despairing and senseless.I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are very wise and very beautiful; but I never read in either of them: "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.It is not that we keep His commandments first, and that then He loves; but that He loves us, and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace, which is revealed to the humble, but hidden from the proud.Man is immortal until his work is done.My will was perverse and lust had grown from it, and when I gave in to lust, habit was born; and when I did not resist the habit, it became a necessity. These were the links which together formed what I have called my chain, and it held me fast in the duress of servitude.No one is really happy merely because he has what he wants, but only if he wants things he ought to want.Nothing whatever pertaining to godliness and real holiness can be accomplished without grace.O God, Thou hast made us for thyself, and ours hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee.Other sins find their vent in the accomplishment of evil deeds, whereas pride lies in wait for good deeds, to destroy them.Patience is the companion of wisdom.Scratching lust's itchy sore.The coward does it with a kiss, the brave man with a sword.The single desire that dominated my search for delight was simply to love and to be loved.The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.There is one case of death-bed repentance recorded, that of the penitent thief, that none should despair; and only one, that none should presume.To see God is the promised goal of all our actions and the promised height of all our joys.Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence.Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand.We are ensnared by the wisdom of the serpent; we are set free by the foolishness of God.We need not despair of any man, so long as he lives. For God deemed it better to bring good out of evil than not to permit evil at all.[I]it is never licit to kill another: even if he should wish it, indeed if he request it, hanging between life and death. nor is it licit even when a sick person is no longer able to live |
