Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.

It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have all one wants.

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

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

Men blaspheme what they do not know.

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself; and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses...it is the heart that feels God, not the reason; this is faith.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.
