The Study of philosophy is not that we may know what men have thought, but what the truth of things is.

Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.

All that is true, by whomsoever it has been said has its origin in the Spirit.

If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.

Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.

The things that we love tell us what we are.
