Quote

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.

The universe is one of God's thoughts.

I think that all things, in their way, reflect heavenly truth, the imagination not least.

God is one, greatest of gods and men, not like mortals in body or thought.

It is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts.

What we're really after is trying to understand what's in the mind of God.

Ideas are infinite, original, and lively divine thoughts.

As to gods, I have no way of knowing either that they exist or do not exist, or what they are like.

I have many deep thoughts in God, but I take my own measure, lest I perish by boasting... For I myself, though I am in chains and can comprehend heavenly things, the ranks of the angels and the hierarchy of principalities, things visible and invisible, for all this I am not yet a disciple.

God, who knows our most secret thoughts and who sees all, is witness to the purity of my principles. They are not founded on this barbarous ferocity that takes pleasure in shedding human blood.
