All creatures are united to God alone in an immediate union. They depend essentially and directly upon Him. Being all alike equally impotent, they cannot be in reciprocal dependence upon one another.

You will not dishonor the divine perfections by judgments unworthy of them, provided you never judge of Him by yourself, provided you do not ascribe to the Creator the imperfections and limitations of created beings.

We are rational creatures: Our virtue and perfection is to love reason, or rather to love order.

You find yourself in the world, without any power, immovable as a rock, stupid, so to speak, as a log of wood.

I do not believe there is anything useful which men can know with exactitude that they cannot know by arithmetic and algebra.
