"Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.
Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair. "
