I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.

We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but he does not know what to create.

God created man, but I could do better.

God seeth different abilities and frailties of men, which may move His goodness to be merciful to their different improvements in virtue.

The divine is perhaps that quality in man which permits him to endure the lack of God.

There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.

An idea in man is first impressed upon him and afterwards expressed in things, but in God it is only expressed, not impressed, because it does not come from anywhere else.

Moreover, we are showing a dismaying tendency to recast God in Man's image.

In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity.

Having refuted, then, as well as we could, every notion which might suggest that we were to think of God as in any degree corporeal, we go on to say that, according to strict truth, God is incomprehensible, and incapable of being measured.
