«The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.»
«It is well for his peace that the saint goes to his martyrdom. He is spared the sight of the horror of his harvest.»
«To the poet, to the philosopher, to the saint, all things are friendly and sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine.»
«The virtues of society are vices of the saint. The terror of reform is the discovery that we must cast away our virtues, or what we have always esteemed such, into the same pit that has consumed our grosser vices.»
«Just as the tongue, made of flesh and blood, is protected within the scissors of the thirty-two teeth - who thinks that the power lies in the flesh or the scissors? Everything is in the Power of the Lord. In just the same way, when someone slanders the Saint, the Lord preserves the honor of His servant.»
