“There is not a righteous man on Earth who does what is right and never sins.”

“If you sin yourself and grieve even unto death for your sins or for your sudden sin, then rejoice for others, rejoice for the righteous man, rejoice that if you have sinned, he is righteous and has not sinned.”

“A righteous man does not conceive of himself as righteous; he is "only doing what anyone else would do," except, of course, that no one else does it.”

“even the righteous man is just a sinner livin in between sins!”

“Counsel involving right and wrong should never be sought from a man who does not say his prayers.”

“Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.' Not only do the followers of Jesus renounce their rights, they renounce their own righteousness too. They get no praise for their achievements or sacrifices. They cannot have righteousness except by hungering and thirsting for it (this applies equally to their own righteousness and to the righteousness of God on Earth), always they look forward to the future righteousness of God, but they cannot establish it for themselves. Those who follow Jesus grow hungry and thirsty on the way.”
