Charity is love; not all love is charity.
Every cell in us worships God.
Humility is the mark of a genuine disciple.
An act of love always tends towards two things; to the good that one wills, and to the person for whom one wills it.
To disparage the dictate of reason is equivalent to contemning the command of God.
Unbelief is the greatest of sins.
Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.
Love works in a circle, for the beloved moves the lover by stamping a likeness, and the lover then goes out to hold the beloved inreality. Who first was the beginning now becomes the end of motion.
The soul, which is the first principle of life, is not a body, but the act of a body; just as heat, which is the principle of calefaction, is not a body, but an act of a body.
Now it seems that everything in the world stems from sources other than God, since the products of nature have their source in nature; deliberate effects can be traced back to human reason or will as their source. There is no need then to assume that God exists.
Man can sin against nature in two ways. First, when he sins against his specific rational nature, acting contrary to reason. In this sense, we can say that every sin is a sin against man’s nature, because it is against man’s right reason...
So, to detract from the perfection of creatures is to detract from the perfection of divine power.
The end of every maker is himself.
For although the will cannot be inwardly moved by any creature, yet it can be moved inwardly by God.
Far graver is it to corrupt the faith that is the life of the soul than to counterfeit the money that sustains temporal life.
In a false person, sacraments do not produce any effect.
Arrive at knowledge over small streamlets, and do not plunge immediately into the ocean, since progress must go from the easier to the more difficult.
God’s precepts are light to the loving, heavy to the fearful.
Not everyone who is enlightened by an angel knows that he is enlightened by him.
There is nothing in your mind which wasn’t experienced before hand.
