Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not in hand.

Faith is God's work within us.

Far graver is it to corrupt the faith that is the life of the soul than to counterfeit the money that sustains temporal life.

When fear is excessive it can make many a man despair.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
