That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.

Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.

Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.

When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is good that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man, as, for example, the moon, to which is attributed the change of seasons, the progress of diseases, etc. For the chief malady of man is a restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.

Is it courage in a dying man to go, in weakness and in agony, to affront an almighty and eternal God?

To doubt is a misfortune, but to seek when in doubt is an indispensable duty. So he who doubts and seeks not is at once unfortunate and unfair.

Justice is as much a matter of fashion as charm is.
