The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.

I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.

It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge.

Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth

What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.
