The superstition in which we were brought up never loses its power over us, even after we understand it.

Pure truth is for God alone.

How can such deep-imprinted images sleep in us at times, till a word, a sound, awake them?

Resist as much as thou wilt; heaven's ways are heaven's ways.

The search for truth is more precious than its possession.

If some things don't make you lose your sense of reason, then you have none to lose.

The true value of man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth. It is not possession of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent and proud. If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand.
