Absolute truth belongs to Thee alone.

The true value of man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth. It is not possession of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent and proud. If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand.

Let the devil catch you but by a single hair, and you are his forever

They make glorious shipwreck who are lost in seeking worlds.

If some things don’t make you lose your sense of reason, then you have none to lose.

For the will and not the gift makes the giver. [Ger., Denn der Wille Und nicht die Gabe macht den Geber.]
