St. Bonaventure is often referred to as the second founder of the Franciscan movement. He is a doctor of the Church. Currently, I am reading his sermons on St. Francis that are in Volume II of Francis of Assisi: Early Documents. I came across this one-liner in his fourth sermon and thought I would share it with others:
"Life according to the Gospel consists in self-denial, purity, simplicity, and every form of kindness." (FA:ED Vol II, pg. 756.)
