Another of the "must-knows" in the pantheon of Christian thought, and another of my favorites... a philosopher's philosopher, as these quotes attest:
A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
Beware the man of one book.
Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
The things that we love tell us what we are.
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.
Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.
The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.
