Today we have to learn all over again that love for the sinner and love for the person who has been harmed are correctly balanced if I punish the sinner in the form that is possible and appropriate. In this respect there was in the past a change of mentality, in which the law and the need for punishment were obscured. Ultimately this also narrowed the concept of law, which in fact is not only just being nice or courteous, but is found in the truth. And another component of the truth is that I must punish the one who has sinned against real love

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

One of the best roads to self-improvement is acceptance of personal mistakes and correcting them as soon as possible.

Rebuke without love is abuse. But, a love that would never rebuke? I dare to admit that that, too, would be a kind of abuse.

A fear of weakness only strengthens weakness.

You can't accept correction when you are not humble to listen.

Pride is pride not because it hates being wrong, but because it loves being wrong: To hate being wrong is to change your opinion when you are proven wrong; whereas pride, even when proven wrong, decides to go on being wrong.

Call attention to your strengths instead of pointing out your weaknesses.

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth ...

See everything; overlook a great deal; correct a little.
