Meditationis est perscrutari occulta; contemplationis est admirari perspicua..... Admiratio generat quæstionem, quæstio investigationem, investigatio inventionem."-Hugo de S. Victore.

-"Cur spirent venti, cur terra dehiscat,

Cur mare turgescat, pelago cur tantus amaror,
Cur caput obscura Phœbus ferrugine condat,
Quid toties diros cogat flagrare cometas;
Quid pariat nubes, veniant cur fulmina cælo,
Quo micet igne Iris, superos quis conciat orbes
Tam vario motu."

J. B. Pinelli ad Mazonium.
