Obedience is the key that opens every door.

Friendship (as the ancients saw) can be a school of virtue, but also (as they did not see) a school of vice. It is ambivalent. It makes good men better and bad men worse.
sin repent acknowledge
By repenting, one acknowledges them as sins-therefore not to be repeated.
father book men
I am a product [...of] endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them.... I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues.
trying knows can-do
You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to.
real mean player
God can show Himself as He really is only to real men. And that means not simply to men who are individually good, but to men who are united together in a body, loving one another, helping one another, showing Him to one another. For that is what God meant humanity to be like; like players in one band, or organs in one body.
believe
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
