“Whoever finds God finds everything, whoever loses God loses everything.”

“Charity is that with which no man is lost, and without which no man is saved.”

“Let prayer delight thee more than disputations, and the charity which builds up more than the knowledge which puffs up.”

“What is easier, sweeter, more pleasant, than to love goodness, beauty, and love, the fullness of which you are, O Lord, my God.”

“Know that you have been created for the glory of God and your own eternal salvation.  This is your goal; this is the center of your life; this is the treasure of your heart.”

“The school of Christ is the school of charity.  On the last day, when the general examination takes place, there will be no question at all on the text of Aristotle, the aphorisms of Hippocrates, or the paragraphs of Justinian.  Charity will be the whole syllabus.”

“An ounce of charity is better than a hundred loads of reason.”

“Freedom of belief is pernicious, it is nothing but the freedom to be wrong.”

“Flee idleness…for no one is more exposed to such temptations than he who has nothing to do.”

“Peace and union are the most necessary of all things for men who live in common, and nothing serves so well to establish and maintain these as the forbearing charity whereby we put up with one another’s defects.”

“It is not difficult for one seal to make many impressions exactly alike, but to vary shapes almost infinitely, which is what God has done in creation, this is in truth a divine work.”
