They must also be extraordinarily stupid. The sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the lips that touch their brow have known the kiss of sin. Men always want to be a woman's first love. It is well for his peace that the saint goes to his martyrdom. He is spared the sight of the horror of his harvest.
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Skepticism is the beginning of Faith. Lots of people act well, but few people talk well. This shows that talking is the more difficult of the two. Never speak disrespectfully of Society.
