The purpose and cause of the incarnation was that He might illuminate the world by His wisdom and excite it to the love of Himself. – Peter Abelard
The key to wisdom is this – constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth. – Peter Abelard
It is by doubting that we come to investigate, and by investigating that we recognize the truth. – Peter Abelard
