“Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.”
“Sin so contaminates every area of our being that deeds done in religious service are tainted with self-love, self-seeking, self-worship...Not only do our evil deeds comdemn us, even our moral deeds damn us.”
“To be self-contented is to be vile and ignorant, ans that to aspire is better than to be blindly and impoitently happy.”
“...learn this lesson, that to be self-contented is to be vile and ignorant, and that to aspire is better than to be blindly and impotently happy..”
“The gulf between how one should live and how one does live is so wide that a man who neglects what is actually done for what should be done learns the way to self-destruction rather than self-preservation.”
“The only sin is self-hatred.”
