I Heard Many Discourses Which Were Good

When Someone Steals Another's Clothes, We Call Them A Thief. Should We Not Give The Same Name To One Who Could Clothe The Naked And Does Not? The Bread In Your Cupboard Belongs To The Hungry; The Coat Unused In Your Closet Belongs To The One Who Needs It; The Shoes Rotting In Your Closet Belong To The One Who Has No Shoes; The Money Which You Hoard Up Belongs To The Poor.

It Is Impious To Say That Evil Has Its Origin From God, Because Naught Contrary Is Produced By The Contrary. Life Does Not Generate Death, Nor Is Darkness The Beginning Of Light, Nor Is Disease The Maker Of Health, But In The Changes Of Conditions There Are Transitions From One Condition To The Contrary.

O Sinner, Be Not Discouraged, But Have Recourse To Mary In All You Necessities. Call Her To Your Assistance, For Such Is The Divine Will That She Should Help In Every Kind Of Necessity.

Every Evil Is A Sickness Of Soul, But Virtue Offers The Cause Of Its Health.

Science Which Is Acquired Unwillingly, Soon Disappears; That Which Is Instilled Into The Mind In A Pleasant And Agreeable Manner, Is More Lasting.
