“Would that we examine our souls before we stand in the presence of the Just Judge to give an account. If you convict yourself now, you have a chance to repent, but if you wait until you stand before the Just Judge, there will be no chance. You are supposed to prepare for that hour from now…” – H.H.

“For God, who produces and gives breath to people, desired that all should be equally matched… In His eyes, no one is a slave and no one is a master. For, if we all have the same Father, by an equal right we are all His children. No one is poor in God’s sight except the unrighteous. No one is rich except those who are filled with virtue.” – Lactantius
