I never asserted such an absurd thing as that things arise without a cause.

David Hume

When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nordiminishes.

I imagine it great vanity in me to suppose that the Supremely Perfect does in the least regard such an inconsiderable nothing as man.
