Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

Men who are ruled by reason desire nothing for themselves which they would not wish for all mankind.

Fame has also this great drawback, that if we pursue it, we must direct our lives so as to please the fancy of men.

The holy word of God is on everyone's lips...but...we see almost everyone presenting their own versions of God's word, with the sole purpose of using religion as a pretext for making others think as they do.

I do not presume that I have found the best philosophy, I know that I understand the true philosophy.

He who has a true idea, knows at that same time that he has a true idea, nor can he doubt concerning the truth of the thing.
