Have The Wisdom To Know What Cannot

Whoever Is Going To Listen To The Philosophers Needs A Considerable Practice In Listening.

If What The Philosophers Say Be True, That All Men's Actions Proceed From One Source; That As They Assent From A Persuasion That A Thing Is So, And Dissent From A Persuasion That It Is Not, And Suspend Their Judgment From A Persuasion That It Is Uncertain, So Likewise They Seek A Thing From A Persuasion That It Is For Their Advantage.

What Really Frightens And Dismays Us Is Not External Events Themselves, But The Way In Which We Think About Them. It Is Not Things That Disturb Us, But Our Interpretation Of Their Significance.

Either God Wants To Abolish Evil, And Cannot; Or He Can, But Does Not Want To.

The Soul Is Unwillingly Deprived Of Truth.
