Ingratitude is treason to mankind.

In the light of the Divine Goodness, it seems to me, though others may think differently, that ingratitude is the most abominable of sins and that it should be detested in the sight of our Creator and Lord by all of His creatures who are capable of enjoying His divine and everlasting glory.

I believe that if you reject and don't respect what you have now, that's ingratitude. I'm grateful for everything I have today.

Next to ingratitude the most painful thing to bear is gratitude.

Of all our infirmities, the most savage is to despise our being.

Intemperance and intolerance serve no one, and hatred guarantees failure.

To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem... ridiculous.

Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.

The essence of greatness is neglect of the self.

An ingenuous mind feels in unmerited praise the bitterest reproof.
