« All quotes from this author
 

Sollicitudo mentem distrahit, distractam dividit, divisam diabolus rapit, et sic animam interficit.
--
Solicitude for material things rends the soul; thus distracted, it divides it. The devil seizes the divided soul and thereby kills it.
--
Sermon for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Part II: De sollicitudine expellenda, par. 7)
