In my servant the ant, my tiny servant, who hoards greedily like a miser.
Who works like one unhappy and who has no break and who has no rest.
The faith that I love the best, says God, is hope.
He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.
I am so resplendent in my creation.
That in order really not to see me these poor people would have to be blind.
Faith is a loyal Wife.
Charity is a Mother.
An ardent mother, noble-hearted.
Or an older sister who is like a mother.
Hope is a little girl, nothing at all.
The sinner is at the heart of Christianity. No one is as competent as the sinner in matters of Christianity. No one, except a saint.
Tyranny is always better organised than freedom.
