The Lord suffers all human weaknesses but abhors a man who is always complaining, & does not leave him without a lesson.

Isaac of N. EFP. p. 269

A man who remembering God respects every man, by a sudden move-ment of God's hand himself receives help from every man.

id.

Praecordia fatui quasi rota carri, et quasi axis versatilis cogitatus illius.

The heart of a fool is as a wheel of a cart, and his thoughts are like a rolling axletree.

Eccli.[Ecclesiasticus]33:5
