Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.

To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.

This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.

Punishment is justice for the unjust.

No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.

It is not the punishment but the cause that makes the martyr.

Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.

This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.

Punishment is justice for the unjust.

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
