There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.
In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.
Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see it is above, not against them.

We like security: we like the pope to be infallible in matters of faith, and grave doctors to be so in moral questions so that we can feel reassured.
Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them no art can keep or acquire them.
