• “Je n'ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce que je n'ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte.”
• “People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.”
• “Mahomet established a religion by putting his enemies to death; Jesus Christ, by commanding his followers to lay down their own lives.”
• “FEU. Dieu d'Abraham, Dieu d'Isaac, Dieu de Jacob, non des philosophes et savants. Certitude. Certitude. Sentiment. Joie. Paix.”
• “In order to enter into a real knowledge of your condition, consider it in this image: A man was cast by a tempest upon an unknown island, the inhabitants of which were in trouble to find their king, who was lost; and having a strong resemblance both in form and face to this king, he was taken for him, and acknowledged in this capacity by all the people.”
