"The body is a vessel for the soul, and the soul is the captain of the ship."

"The world is divided into men who have brains and no religion, and men who have religion and no brains."

"The soul is a substance that is neither body nor dependent on the body."

"The human intellect at birth is like a tabula rasa, a pure potentiality that is actualized through education and comes to know."
