Great Men Are Sometimes So Even In

Despair Exaggerates Not Only Our Misery But Also Our Weakness.

Men Are Not To Be Judged By What They Do Not Know, But By What They Know, And By The Manner In Which They Know It.

The Maxim That Men Are Not To Be Praised Before Their Death Was Invented By Envy And Too Lightly Adopted By Philosophers. I, On The Contrary, Maintain That They Ought To Be Praised In Their Lifetime If They Merit It; But Jealousy And Calumny, Roused Against Their Virtue Or Their Talent, Labour To Degrade Them If Any One Ventures To Bear Testimony To Them. It Is Unjust Criticism That They Should Fear To Hazard, Not Sincere Praise.

Newton, Pascal, Bossuet, Racine, F?nelon -- That Is To Say, Some Of The Most Enlightened Men On Earth, In The Most Philosophical Of All Ages -- Have Been Believers In Jesus Christ; And The Great Cond?, When Dying, Repeated These Noble Words, "yes, I Shall See God As He Is, Face To Face!".

As It Is Natural To Believe Many Things Without Proof, So, Despite All Proof, Is It Natural To Disbelieve Others.
