- Once our thoughts are accompanied by images we have already given them our assent; for a provocation does not involve us in guilt so long as it is not accompanied by images. Some people flee away from these thoughts like 'a brand plucked out of the fire' (Zech. 3:2); but others dally with them, and so get burnt.
- Do not say: 'I don't want it, but it happens.' For even though you may not want the thing itself, yet you welcome what causes it.
- He who seeks praise is involved in passion; he who laments afflictions is attached to sensual pleasure.
- The thoughts of a self-indulgent man vacillate, as though on scales; sometimes he laments and weeps for his sins, and sometimes he fights and contradicts his neighbor, justifying his own sensual pleasures.
- He who tests all things and 'holds fast that which is good' (1 Thess. 5:21) will in consequence refrain from all evil.
- 'A patient man abounds in understanding' (Prov. 14: 29); and so does he who listens to words of wisdom.
