It is the greatest refreshment to the spirits of man, without which buildings and palaces are but gross handiworks.

The work that we have to do here is of that nature that we cannot do it unless we have the assistance of the Almighty.

• If there are a bunch of fruit trees, one can say that whoever created these fruit trees wanted some apples. In other words, by looking at the order in the world, we can infer purpose and from purpose we begin to get some knowledge of the Creator, the Planner of all this. This is, then, how I look at God. I look at God through the works of God's hands and from those works imply intentions. From these intentions, I receive an impression of the Almighty.
