We Have All A Propensity

Even The Atheists... Readily Acknowledge It For An Indubitable Truth, That There Must Be Something... Which Was Never Made Or Produced - And Which Therefore Is The Cause Of Those Other Things That Are Made, Something... Whose Existence Must Needs Be Necessary... Wherefore All The Question Now Is, What Is This... Self-existent Thing, Which Is The Cause Of All Other Things That Are Made.

The Golden Beams Of Truth And The Silken Cords Of Love, Twisted Together, Will Draw Men On With A Sweet Violence, Whether They Will Or Not.

Knowledge Is Not A Passion From Without The Mind, But An Active Exertion Of The Inward Strength, Vigor And Power Of The Mind, Displaying Itself From Within.

If Intellection And Knowledge Were Mere Passion From Without, Or The Bare Reception Of Extraneous And Adventitious Forms, Then No Reason Could Be Given At All Why A Mirror Or Looking-glass Should Not Understand.

The True Knowledge Or Science Which Exists Nowhere But In The Mind Itself, Has No Other Entity At All Besides Intelligibility; And Therefore Whatsoever Is Clearly Intelligible, Is Absolutely True.
