If Intellection And Knowledge Were Mere Passion

A Good Conscience Is The Best Looking-glass Of Heaven.

Things Are Sullen, And Will Be As They Are, Whatever We Think Them Or Wish Them To Be.

The Golden Beams Of Truth And The Silken Cords Of Love, Twisted Together, Will Draw Men On With A Sweet Violence, Whether They Will Or Not.

The True Knowledge Or Science Which Exists Nowhere But In The Mind Itself, Has No Other Entity At All Besides Intelligibility; And Therefore Whatsoever Is Clearly Intelligible, Is Absolutely True.

Even The Atheists... Readily Acknowledge It For An Indubitable Truth, That There Must Be Something... Which Was Never Made Or Produced - And Which Therefore Is The Cause Of Those Other Things That Are Made, Something... Whose Existence Must Needs Be Necessary... Wherefore All The Question Now Is, What Is This... Self-existent Thing, Which Is The Cause Of All Other Things That Are Made.
