Additional quotes by Jacques Bénigne Bossuet

Mais Dieu se rit des prières qu'on lui fait pour détourner les malheurs publics, quand on ne s'oppose pas à ce qui se fait pour les attirer. Que dis-je? quand on l'approuve et qu'on y souscrit, quoique ce soit avec répugnance.

Let us not believe that our soul is a portion of the divine nature, as some philosophers have dreamed. God is not a whole that can be shared out.

Perfection is the reason for being.
