The man of impure speech is a person whose lips are but an opening and a supply pipe which hell uses to vomit its impurities upon the earth.
Only the chaste man and the chaste woman are capable of true love.
Filthy talk makes us feel comfortable with filthy action. But the one who knows how to control the tongue is prepared to resist the attacks of lust

You carry your snare everywhere and spread your nets in all places. You allege that you never invited others to sin. You did not indeed, by your words, but you have done so by your dress and your deportment.

In the realm of evil thoughts none induces to sin as much as do thoughts that concern the pleasure of the flesh.
God bestows more consideration on the purity of the intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves.
We must be pure. I do not speak merely of the purity of the senses. We must observe great purity in our will, in our intentions, in all our actions.
