Justice and truth are two such subtle points, that our tools are too blunt to touch them accurately.

We should seek the truth without hesitation; and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.

I should not be a Christian but for the miracles.

...for the truth is always older than all the opinions men have held regarding it; and one should be ignoring the nature of truth if we imagined that the truth began at the time it came to be known.

As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.

All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.

If God exists, not seeking God must be the gravest error imaginable. If one decides to sincerely seek for God and doesn't find God, the lost effort is negligible in comparison to what is at risk in not seeking God in the first place.
