God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.

God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.

For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.

Despise not yourselves, ye women; the Son of God was born of a woman

I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within.
