Men demonstrate their courage far more often in little things than in great.

Take care lest perchance you fall into the mistake of thinking to gain more by being merciful than by being just for to pardon him too easily that has transgressed is to wrong him that transgresses not.

Beauty, I believe, comes from God therefore, there can be no beauty without goodness.

Outward beauty is a true sign of inner goodness. This loveliness, indeed, is impressed upon the body in varying degrees as a token by which the soul can be recognized for what it is, just as with trees the beauty of the blossom testifies to the goodness of the fruit.
