Let not office puff up any man; for faith and love are all in all, and nothing is preferred before them.

— Ignatius of Antioch

τόπος μηδένα φυσιούτω· τὸ γὰρ ὅλον ἐστὶν πίστις καὶ ἀγάπη, ὧν οὐδὲν προκέκριται.

More quotes by Ignatius of Antioch

I watch over you betimes to protect you from wild beasts in human form.

Take note of those who spout false opinions about the gracious gift of Jesus Christ that has come to us, and see how they are opposed to the mind of God. They have no interest in love, in the widow, the orphan, the oppressed, the one who is in chains or the one set free, the one who is hungry or the one who thirsts.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
