Quote 10 18

Avail yourself of useful things, avoid what are harmful, and leave what are superfluous; but, seeing their qualities, quantities and order, give praise to the Maker, in whom alone can you find supreme quality and sovereign quantity, and highest order; that is to say, to God, of whom it can be truthfully said, that he made everything with quality, in sufficient quantity and weight.
