No man can serve two masters.
There are times when I think you're a better Christian than I am.
You'll find nothing but stones in a stony field.
To be perfectly honest, I have a morbid taste for bones.
The penance of a long day's fasting is a sharp sauce to the appetite for a full meal.
I am a man before I am a monk.
Happiness is a gift that comes to us when we do not seek it.
What is there in me that would make you think to find me at a loss for words?
I have no mind to be a slave to the past.
I am not a man to be easily discouraged.
To forgive is not to forget.
A man may well be proud of his enemies for they are the result of his own virtues.
