The greatness of man is great in that he knows himself to be wretched. A tree does not know itself to be wretched.
The immortality of the soul is a matter which is of so great consequence to us and which touches us so profoundly that we must have lost all feeling to be indifferent about it.
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.
The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.

Faith is different from proof the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.
There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.
