“Order your soul. Reduce your wants.”

“The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.”

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

Audi partem alteram.

Christ is not valued at all unless He is valued above all.

Conscience and reputation are two things. Conscience is due to yourself, reputation to your neighbor.

Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum.

Dilige et quod vis fac.

Give me chastity and continency—but not yet!

He who does not have the church as his mother does not have God as his Father.
