Laudable Quotes from Caritas in Veritate

Some more wonderful quotes from the Pope’s Encyclical:

“Man is not a lost atom in a random universe: he is God’s creature, whom God chose to endow with an immortal soul and whom he has always loved.” (29)

“Knowledge is never purely the work of the intellect…. if it aspires to wisdom capable of directing man in the light of his first beginnings and his final ends, it must be ‘seasoned’ with the ‘salt’ of charity.” (30)

“Deeds without knowledge are blind, and knowledge without love is sterile.” (30)

“Intelligence and love are not in separate compartments: love is rich in intelligence and intelligence is full of love.” (30)
