Works
Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein was a prolific writer, but most of her works were privately printed; the chief of these was Des causes intérieures de la faiblesse extérieure de l'Église (the title could be translated as "The Inward Reasons for the Church's Outward Failure"), a massive 24 volume undertaking. The book was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, the Catholic Church's list of banned books.
A posthumous publication was La vie chretienne au milieu du monde et en notre siècle. Entretiens pratiques recueillis et publiés par Henri Lasserre, Paris 1895.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them. They have only been read as the multitude read the stars, at most astrologically, not astronomically.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
