The only shame is to have none.

Faith is a gift of God.

To scorn philosophy is truly to philosophize.

Each man is everything to himself, for with his death everything is dead for him. That is why each of us thinks he is everything to everyone. We must not judge nature by ourselves, but by its own standards.

Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.

Therefore, those to whom God has imparted religion by intuition are very fortunate and justly convinced. But to those who do not have it, we can give it only by reasoning, waiting for God to give them spiritual insight, without which faith is only human and useless for salvation.

It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
