Whoever is still seeking for miracles so that he may believe is himself a wonder, who does not believe while the world around him does.
Saint Augustine

What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.
