 To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize

 Too much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find truth; give him too much, the same.

 True nature being lost, everything becomes its own nature; as the true good being lost, everything becomes its own true good.

 Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

 Two extremes: to exclude reason, to admit reason only.

 Two kinds of persons know Him: those who have a humble heart, and who love lowliness, whatever kind of intellect they may have, high or low; and those who have sufficient understanding to see the truth, whatever opposition they may have to it.
