The scars of others should teach us caution.
From St. Jerome
Keep doing some kind of work, that the devil may always find you employed.
My native land is a slave of heathenism, men's god is their belly, and they live only for the present. The richer a man, the holier.
They talk like angels but they live like men.
What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way.
Love is not to be purchased, and affection has no price.
I am like the sick sheep that strays from the rest of the flock. Unless the Good Shepherd takes me on His shoulders and carries me back to His fold, my steps will falter, and in the very effort of rising, my feet will give way.
Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
Act as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will a be general natural law.
Haste is of the Devil.
