To redeem creation the saint wages war on the entire fabric of creation, with the bare weapons of truth and love. (Jacques Maritain)

There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate.

Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that is or can be done, for this is the only and sovereign agent.

He knew well that he would die as he was against the king, but he preferred virtue to safety. Yet what is more expedient than the suffering which brought glory to the saint.
