"And if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out."

"But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep."

"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."

"Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one."

"Let him who has no sword buy one."
