Conscience in the soul is the root of all true courage. If a man would be brave, let him learn to obey his conscience.
Whenever you do what is holy, be of good cheer, knowing that God Himself takes part with rightful courage.
COVETOUSNESS.
Of covetousness, we may truly say that it makes both the Alpha and Omega in the devil's alphabet, and that it is the first vice in corrupt nature which moves, and the last which dies.
The covetous man is like a camel with a great hunch on his back; heaven's gate must be made higher and broader, or he will hardly get in.
The covetous person lives as if the world were made altogether for him, and not he for the world.
The covetous man heaps up riches, not to enjoy them, but to have them.
The only sovereign remedy is to give Christ the pre-eminence in our hearts; for then we shall undervalue all temporal things in comparison of Him.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
