“Consider, I pray, whether you are not renouncing all shame and sincerity to advance such principles. Because a comet appears in a group of stars which the ancients thought fit to call the Virgin, therefore, shall our women be barren, or have frequent miscarriages, or die old maids.

To offer such things in seriousness, shows the greatest contempt of mankind, and the most scandalous lying impunity.” KnowsShowsTogetherLyingDiesStarsPrinciplesGroupsAtheismMankindPrayingFitOffersShameIllPositive AtheismContemptSincerityVirginsI PraySeriousnessMaidsBarrenImpunityCometsScandalousMiscarriageOld Maids Author:Pierre Bayle

“If you are remembering evil against someone, then pray for him; and as you remove through prayer the pain of the remembrance of the evil he has done, you will stop the advance of the passion. And when you have attained brotherly love and love for mankind, you will completely cast this passion out of your soul. Then when someone else does evil to you, be affectionate and humble toward him, and treat him kindly, and you will deliver him from this passion.” IfsInspirationalDoeSoulDoneChristianPainRememberPassionEvilReligiousPrayerMankindPrayingAnd LoveTreatsCastsHumbleYour SoulRemoveOrthodoxRemembranceAffectionateBrotherlyBrotherly Love Author:Maximus the Confessor
