Few men speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, skeptically of skepticism.

Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.

Man is clearly made to think. It is his whole dignity and his whole merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought. And the order of thought is to begin with ourselves, and with our Author and our end.

We never live, but we hope to live; and as we are always arranging to be happy, it must be that we never are so.

If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Not the zeal alone of those who seek Him proves God, but the blindness of those who seek Him not.

There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy.
