The Lord commonly gives riches to foolish people, to whom he gives nothing else.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.

When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.
