As our bodies live upon the earth and find sustenance in the fruits which it produces, so our minds feed on the same truths as the intelligible and immutable substance of the divine Word contains.

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.

God transforms, so to speak, this air into words, into various sounds. He makes you understand these various sounds through the modifications by which you are affected.

Attentiveness is the natural prayer of the Soul.

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