More quotes by Anselm of Canterbury

God often works more by the life of the illiterate seeking the things that are God's, than by the ability of the learned seeking the things that are their own.

God was conceived of a most pure Virgin … it was fitting that the virgin should be radiant with a purity so great that a greater purity cannot be conceived.
