Divinity is in all things in such a way that all things are in divinity.

We see that God has implanted in all things a natural desire to exist with the fullest measure of existence that is compatible with their particular nature. To this end they are endowed with suitable faculties and activities; and by means of these there is in them a discernment that is natural and in keeping with the purpose of their knowledge, which ensures their natural inclination serving its purpose and being able to reach its fulfilment in that object towards which it is attracted by the weight of its own nature.

The fact is that man has no longing for any other nature but desires only to be perfect in his own.

In humility alone lies true greatness, and knowledge and wisdom are profitable only in so far as our lives are governed by them.
