Reason is our soul's left hand, faith her right.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Human reason needs only to will more strongly than fate, and she is fate.
Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.
This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.
The soul is a very perfect judge of her own motions, if your mind doesn't dictate to her.
We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
It is not reason which makes faith hard, but life.
Faith is not contrary to reason.
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.
The belief of our Reason is an Exercise of Faith, and Faith is an Act of Reason.
Faith is a continuation of reason.
