“It is a human thing to sin, but perseverance in sin is a thing of the devil.”

All the vices are seasoned with pride just as the virtues are seasoned and enlivened by charity.

God is more ready to pardon that we have been to sin.

You must believe in truth that whatever God gives or permits is for your salvation.

The devil never sleeps.

For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.

Of course you are unworthy. But when do you hope to be worthy? You will be no more worthy at the end than at the beginning. God alone is worthy of Himself, He alone can make us worthy of Him.

Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.

Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear.

Preach the Truth as if you had a million voices. It is silence that kills the world.

Every step of the way to heaven is heaven.

Lose yourself wholly; and the more you lose, the more you will find.

It is the nature of love to love as much as we feel we are loved and to love whatever the one we love loves.

And let the truth be your delight proclaim it, but with a certain congeniality.

Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.

How many are the pains of those who hunger for revenge! They gnaw away at themselves constantly, and they have killed themselves even before they kill their enemies.

We will be humble as we are obedient, and as obedient as we are humble.

The whole universe is sum up in the Human Being. Devil is not a monster waiting to trap us, He is a voice inside. Look for Your Devil in Yourself, not in the Others. Don’t forget that the one who knows his Devil, knows his God.

Satan is an astute theologian.

But the devil is a subtle worm; he does not give up at one defeat, for he knows human nature, and the strength of the forces which battle for him.

When Satan tells me I am a sinner he comforts me immeasurably, since Christ died for sinners.

Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice.

In war I would deal with the Devil and his grandmother

If the devil cannot make us bad, he will make us busy.

The devil smiles when we are up to our ears in work, but he trembles when we pray.
