You say that my way of thinking cannot be tolerated? What of it? The man who alters his way of thinking to suit others is a fool. My way of thinking is the result of my reflections. It is part of my inner being, the way I am made. I do not contradict them, and would not even if I wished to. For my system, which you disapprove of, is also my greatest comfort in life, the source of all my happiness --- it means more to me than my life itself.

All our experience with history should teach us, when we look back, how badly human wisdom is betrayed when it relies on itself

Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but—more frequently than not—struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.

Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.

By faith we began, by hope we continue, and by revelation we shall obtain the whole.

We are nothing with all our gifts be they ever so great, except God assist us.

Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.
