„Jestli jedna zlá myšlenka, jedno zlé slovo, jeden zlý skutek zasluhují věčné zatracení, kolik pekel, mí přátelé, zasluhuje každý z nás, jejichžto životy byly jednou neustálou vzpourou vůči Bohu!“

Originál: (en) If one evil thought, if one evil word, if one evil action, deserves eternal damnation, how many hells, my friends, do every one of us deserve, whose whole lives have been one continued rebellion against God!
