36 II, 98 | is a deplorable thing to see all men deliberating on

40 II, 100 | of our own heart, when we see it in a wholly different

48 II, 142 | thought like ordinary folk? I see well that a man is made
49 II, 142 | without society; and we will see that a king without diversion
50 II, 142 | great number of people who see to it that amusement follows
51 II, 143 | cares; for then they would see themselves: they would reflect
52 II, 159 | estimable when hidden. When I see some of these in history,
53 II, 164 | 164. He who does not see the vanity of the world

56 II, 172 | delightful to us, we regret to see it pass away. We try to
57 III, 194 | attacking it to say that we see nothing in the world which
58 III, 194 | self-love; for this we need only see what the least enlightened
59 III, 194 | least enlightened persons see.~We do not require great
60 III, 194 | no more than the rest. I see those frightful spaces of
61 III, 194 | which shall come after me. I see nothing but infinites on
62 III, 194 | is a monstrous thing to see in the same heart and at
63 III, 194 | it seriously, they would see that this is so bad a mistake,
64 III, 199 | others, and those who remain see their own fate in that of
65 III, 202 | being without faith, we see that God does not enlighten
66 III, 202 | but as to the rest, we see there is a God who makes
67 III, 205 | which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite

75 III, 233 | you must choose, let us see which interests you least.
76 III, 233 | wager too much." Let us see. Since there is an equal
77 III, 233 | take on this road, you will see so great certainty of gain,
78 III, 234 | is as to whether we may see to-morrow; for it is not
79 III, 234 | not certain that we may see to-morrow, and it is certainly
80 III, 234 | possible that we may not, see it. We cannot say as much
81 IV, 242 | living faith in their hearts see at once that all existence
82 IV, 242 | their light whatever they see in nature that can bring
83 IV, 242 | surround them, and they will see God openly, to give them,
84 IV, 242 | religion are very weak. And I see by reason and experience
85 IV, 263 | says so when he does not see one. Reasons, seen from
86 IV, 263 | are reached, we begin to see beyond. Nothing stops the
87 IV, 265 | the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not
88 IV, 266 | is grass on the earth, we see it—from the moon we would
89 IV, 266 | from the moon we would not see it—and on the grass are
90 IV, 266 | anything which we do not see. We must then talk like
91 IV, 267 | but feeble if it does not see so far as to know this.
92 IV, 284 | 284. Do not wonder to see simple people believe without
93 IV, 285 | of the world. The angels see it better still, and from
94 IV, 287 | 287. Those whom we see to be Christians without
95 IV, 288 | sufficient understanding to see the truth, whatever opposition
96 V, 294 | in all times; whereas we see neither justice nor injustice
97 V, 294 | fallatur. 43 We must not see the fact of usurpation;
98 V, 304 | Let us, then, imagine we see society in the process of
99 V, 308 | surroundings with which we see them usually joined. And
100 V, 315 | Montaigne is a fool not to see what difference there is,
101 V, 321 | Children are astonished to see their comrades respected.~
102 V, 323 | puts himself at a window to see those who pass by. If I
103 V, 323 | placed himself there to see me? No; for he does not
104 VI, 353 | virtue as of valour, except I see at the same time the excess
105 VI, 357 | ourselves in them and no longer see virtues. We find fault with
106 VI, 374 | astonishes me most is to see that all the world is not
107 VI, 386 | as much as the objects we see every day. And if an artisan
108 VI, 386 | us much less than what we see when awake, because of its
109 VI, 388 | asleep," etc. How I love to see this proud reason humiliated
110 VI, 392 | we have no proof of it. I see, in truth, that the same
111 VI, 392 | that every time two men see a body change its place,
112 VI, 406 | what all men do. Let us see who will have found it.~
113 VI, 418 | is dangerous to make man see too clearly his equality
114 VI, 418 | also dangerous to make his see his greatness too clearly,
115 VII, 430 | religions of the world and see if there be any other than
116 VII, 430 | been able to do so. Let us see what the wisdom of God will
117 VII, 430 | woes cannot stifle, and see if the cause of them must
118 VII, 430 | observe yourselves, and see if you do not find the lively
119 VII, 430 | contradictions, I intend to make you see clearly, by convincing proofs,
120 VII, 430 | again, and the blindest will see Him.~"It is not in this
121 VII, 430 | those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for
122 VII, 431 | to God," say the first; "see Him whom you resemble and
123 VII, 431 | shall we be? Who does not see from all this that man has
124 VII, 434 | awake; we believe that we see space, figure, and motion;
125 VII, 434 | sceptics. We have only to see their books if we are not
126 VII, 441 | God, that opens my eyes to see everywhere the mark of this
127 VII, 443 | will then be surprised to see that religion only makes
128 VII, 449 | not right that all should see Redemption."~
129 VII, 458 | and yet they weep, not to see all those perishable things
130 VII, 459 | porches of Jerusalem.~Let us see if this pleasure is stable
131 VII, 469 | eternal or infinite; but I see plainly that there exists
132 VII, 474 | members of the whole, and must see how each member should love
133 VII, 492 | indeed blinded. Who does not see that there is nothing so
134 VII, 496 | 496. Experience makes us see an enormous difference between
135 VII, 497 | Ninevites: "Let us do penance to see if peradventure He will
136 VII, 505 | others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those
137 VII, 513 | But his principles make us see that, when the occasion
138 VII, 543 | during the moment that they see such demonstration; but
139 VII, 548 | object, we know nothing, and see only darkness and confusion
140 VII, 553 | thyself be guided by My rules; see how well I have led the
141 VII, 553 | vanity, or curiosity."~I see in me depths of pride, curiosity,
142 VIII, 556 | true, because they do not see that all things concur to
143 VIII, 556 | the order of the world and see if all things do not tend
144 VIII, 556 | only through failure to see one of these two things.
145 VIII, 556 | unhappy?~... He must not see nothing at all, nor must
146 VIII, 556 | nothing at all, nor must he see sufficient for him to believe
147 VIII, 556 | possesses it; but he must see enough to know that he has
148 VIII, 556 | know of his loss, he must see and not see; and that is
149 VIII, 556 | loss, he must see and not see; and that is exactly the
150 VIII, 563 | confusions of the damned to see that they are condemned
151 VIII, 571 | it, not to recognise it.~See, then, what has been the
152 VIII, 576 | believed. And thereby we see the order of the world to
153 VIII, 582 | me, and, because I do not see therein the advantage of
154 IX, 589 | the contrary, it makes us see that it is so.~
155 IX, 593 | no harm.~We must, then, see this in detail; we must

157 IX, 610 | my face from them, I will see what their end shall be,
158 IX, 612 | necessity, but that... (See the passage indicated in
159 IX, 618 | 619. I see the Christian religion founded
160 IX, 618 | whatsoever. It is certain that we see in many places of the world
161 IX, 618 | called the Jewish people.~I see then a crowd of religions
162 IX, 619 | appear about them.~I first see that they are a people wholly
163 IX, 619 | simply reading it; for we see that it has provided for
164 IX, 625 | of daily conversation? We see also that in these days
165 IX, 627 | histories.~We have only to see how this originates. These
166 IX, 639 | particular attention, to see this Jewish people existing
167 X, 641 | one stroke, we need only see if the prophecies in one
168 X, 643 | elect, He has made them see in it an image through all
169 X, 669 | what was symbolised might see it therein.~All that tends

172 X, 679 | it is impossible not to see it. Let us read the Old
173 X, 679 | in this light, and let us see if the sacrifices were real;
174 X, 679 | of charity, and we shall see that they are types.~All
175 X, 691 | 692. There are some that see clearly that man has no

179 XI, 692 | something else than what I see, I have examined whether
180 XI, 692 | some sign of Himself.~I see many contradictory religions,

186 XI, 700 | darkness!~How fine it is to see, with the eyes of faith,

205 XIII, 834 | to the contrary. We must see if it denies a God, or Jesus
206 XIII, 837 | Messiah, if they did not see this final effect of the
