A free man thinks of nothing less than of death; and his wisdom is a meditation not on death but on life.

Reality and perfection are synonymous.

Since love of God is the highest felicity and happiness of man, his final end and the aim of all his actions, it follows that he alone observes the divine law who is concerned to love God not from fear of punishment nor love of something else, such as pleasure, fame, ect., but from the single fact that he knows God, or that he knows that the knowledge and love of God is the highest good

Blessed are the weak who think that they are good because they have no claws.

Sin cannot be conceived in a natural state, but only in a civil state, where it is decreed by common consent what is good or bad.

The most tyrannical of governments are those which make crimes of opinions, for everyone has an inalienable right to his thoughts.
