Saint Augustine
Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.
Saint Augustine
Fortitude is the disposition of soul which enables us to despise all inconveniences and the loss of things not in our power.
