Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.

Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.

It is the contest that delights us, and not the victory.

Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.

We must know where to doubt, where to feel certain, where to submit. He who does not do so, understands not the force of reason.

There is a lot of difference between tempting and leading into error. God tempts but does not lead into error. To tempt is to provide opportunities for us to do certain things if we do not love God, but putting us under no necessity to do so. To lead into error is to compel a man necessarily to conclude and follow a falsehood.

Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.
