If you would help me to some better knowledge not only of sword and single-stick! 'Better knowledge, my child! Of thy God? said the hermit, a sweet look of joy spreading over his face. 'Goodwife Dolly has told me of Him, and taught me my Pater and Credo, but we have lived far off, and she has not been able to go to church for weeks and years.
There was no need for the man to discover this very important secret. Was it possible that Credo was putting up a job to do away with the man who held him in his power? It was indeed possible at least, and our hero was slow and cautious. He did not intend to be trapped like a mouse nibbling at a piece of cheese. The idea of honor among thieves is a myth.
It would be better to say that truth forms a part of happiness in a Tertullianesque sense, in the sense of credo quia absurdum, which means actually credo quia consolans I believe because it is a thing consoling to me. No, for reason, truth is that of which it can be proved that it is, that it exists, whether it console us or not. And reason is certainly not a consoling faculty.

Their credo is, 'I believe in beauty and fine linen, and the thing that is not gauche." His wife was smiling. "Well, have it your own way. It is a creed of comfort, at any rate.
Perfection is the measure of heaven, and the wish to be perfect the measure of man. When a great idea enters the world as a Gospel, it becomes an offense to the multitude, which stagnates in pedantry; and to those who have much learning, but little depth, it is folly. You may recognize the utility of an idea, and yet not quite understand how to make a perfect use of it. Credo Deum!
