   "The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are   
    Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding.  The idea of every nation   
    should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and   
    princes should be seen for the devils they are.  The sins include   
    our church, secret societies, and other religions which make of   
    the spirit of God a divide."   
      
   Last rites declaration of Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Karol Wojtyla)   
   2nd April 2005   
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
   --   
   whom   
   it possesses, others can do likewise. There are feverish movements which   
   health cannot imitate.   
      
   Epictetus concludes that, since there are consistent Christians, every man   
   can easily be so.   
      
   351. Those great spiritual efforts, which the soul sometimes assays, are   
   things on which it does not lay hold. It only leaps to them, not as upon a   
   throne, for ever, but merely for an instant.   
      
   352. The strength of a man's virtue must not be measured by his efforts, but   
   by his ordinary life.   
      
   353. I do not admire the excess of a virtue as of valour, except I see at   
   the same time the excess of the opposite virtue, as in Epaminondas, who had   
   the greatest valour and the greatest kindness. For otherwise it is not to   
   rise, it is to fall. We do not display greatness by going to one extreme,   
   but in touching both at once, and filling all the intervening space. But   
   perhaps this is only a sudden movement of the soul from one to the other   
   extreme, and in fact it is ever at one point only, as in the case of a   
   firebrand. Be it so, but at least this indicates agility if not expanse of   
   soul.   
      
   354. Man's nature is not always to advance; it has its advances and   
   retreats.   
      
   Fever has its cold and hot fits; and the cold proves as well as the hot the   
   greatness of the fire of fever.   
      
   The discoveries of men from age to age turn out the same. The kindness and   
   the malice of the world in general are the same. Plerumque gratae   
   principibus vice
