The Whole Object Of The Prophets And The Sages Was To Declare That A Limit Is Set To Human Reason Where It Must Halt.

Actions Are Divided As Regards Their Object Into Four Classes; They Are Either Purposeless , Unimportant , Or Vain , Or Good .

An Ignorant Man Believes That The Whole Universe Only Exists For Him: As If Nothing Else Required Any Consideration. If, Therefore, Anything Happens To Him Contrary To His Expectation, He At Once Concludes That The Whole Universe Is Evil. If, However, He Would Take Into Consideration The Whole Universe, Form An Idea Of It, And Comprehend What A Small Portion He Is Of The Universe, He Will Find The Truth. There Are Many ... Passages In The Books Of The Prophets Expressing The Same Idea.

Do Not Imagine That What We Have Said Of The Insufficiency Of Our Understanding And Of Its Limited Extent Is An Assertion Founded Only On The Bible: For Philosophers Likewise Assert The Same, And Perfectly Understand It,- Without Having Regard To Any Religion Or Opinion.

Man's Obsession To Add To His Wealth And Honor Is The Chief Source Of His Misery.
