Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.

I can control my passions and emotions if I can understand their nature

I believe that a triangle, if it could speak, would say that God is eminently triangular, and a circle that the divine nature is eminently circular; and thus would every one ascribe his own attributes to God.

One and the same thing can at the same time be good, bad, and indifferent, e.g., music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good nor bad to the deaf.

Whatsoever is contrary to nature is contrary to reason, and whatsoever is contrary to reason is absurd.

Nature offers nothing that can be called this man's rather than another's; but under nature everything belongs to all.

God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
