The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

All that tends not to charity is figurative. The sole aim of the Scripture is charity.

The mind has its arrangement; it proceeds from principles to demonstrations. The heart has a different mode of proceeding.

We know that there is an infinite, and we know not its nature. As we know it to be false that numbers are finite, it is therefore true that there is a numerical infinity. But we know not of what kind; it is untrue that it is even, untrue that it is odd; for the addition of a unit does not change its nature; yet it is a number, and every number is odd or even (this certainly holds of every finite number). Thus we may quite well know that there is a God without knowing what He is.
