Divine love does not weigh down, nor carry his servant captive and enslaved to the lowest depths, but raises him, supports him and magnifies him above all liberty whatsoever.

What can be more stupid than to be in pain about future things and absent ones which at present are not felt?

Giordano Bruno Quotes
