Honor God above all things, that he may rule over you.
Whatever you honor above all things, that which you so honor will have dominion over you. But if you give yourself to the domination of God, you will thus have dominion over all things.
The greatest honor which can be paid to God, is to know and imitate him.
There is not any thing, indeed, which wholly resembles God; nevertheless the imitation of him as much as possible by an inferior nature is grateful to him.
God, indeed, is not in want of any thing, but the wise man is in want of God alone. He, therefore, who is in want but of few things, and those necessary, emulates him who is in want of nothing.
Endeavour to be great in the estimation of divinity, but among men avoid envy.
The wise man whose estimation with men was but small while he was living, will be renowned when he is dead.
Consider all the time to be lost to you in which you do not think of divinity.
A good intellect is the choir of divinity.
A bad intellect is the choir of evil dæmons.
