Human reason is by nature architectonic.

If we could see ourselves... as we really are, we should see ourselves in a world of spiritual natures, our community which neither began at birth nor will end with the death of the body.

The function of the true state is to impose the minimum restrictions and safeguard the maximum liberties of the people, and it never regards the person as a thing.

An organized product of nature is that in which all the parts are mutually ends and means.

Religion is too important a matter to its devotees to be a subject of ridicule. If they indulge in absurdities, they are to be pitied rather than ridiculed.

Nature, when left to universal laws, tends to produce regularity out of chaos.

Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
