 A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the seas. This is the time to awaken Christ and let Him remind you of these words, “Who can this be? Even the wind and the waves obey him.”

 A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.

 And behold you were within me,
and I out of myself,
and there I searched for you.

 Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked.

 Better to have fewer wants than greater riches to supply increasing wants.

 By faithfulness we are collected and wound up into unity within ourselves, whereas we had been scattered abroad in multiplicity.

 Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.

 Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.

 Despise not yourselves, ye women; the Son of God was born of a woman

 Did I wish even by stealth to do contrary to Thy law, because by power I could not, so that being a prisoner, I might mimic a maimed liberty by doing with impunity things unpermitted me, a darkened likeness of Thy Omnipotency?

 Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.

 Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.

 Don't you believe that there is in man a deep so profound as to be hidden even to him in whom it is?

 Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

 Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
