"Theologians are like apes compared to philosophers."

"The purpose of rhetoric is to persuade, the purpose of logic is to prove, and the purpose of philosophy is to know."

"The truth does not contradict the truth; rather, it is consistent with it and bears witness to it."

"The study of philosophy is obligatory, even if it leads to conclusions contrary to those of the theologians."

"The Law teaches that the universe was invented and created by God, and that it did not come into being by chance or by itself."
