• Incluso los déspotas aceptan la excelencia de la libertad. La simple verdad es que desean conservarla para sí mismos y promueven la idea de que nadie más es digno de ella. Así, nuestra opinión
  de la libertad no revela nuestras diferencias, sino el valor relativo que concedemos a nuestros semejantes. Podemos afirmar con convicción, por tanto, que el apoyo de un hombre al gobierno absoluto es
  en proporción directa al desprecio que siente por su país.

• Suppose a person entering a house were to feel heat on the porch, and going further, were to feel the heat increasing, the more they penetrated within. Doubtless, such a person would believe there was a fire in the house, even though they did not see the fire that must be causing all this heat. A similar thing will happen to anyone who considers this world in detail: one will observe that all things are arranged according to their degrees of beauty and excellence, and that the nearer they are to God, the more beautiful and better they are.
