"As to all other writings, in reading them, however great the superiority of the authors to myself in sanctity and learning, I do not accept their teaching as true on the mere ground of the opinion being held by them; but only because they have succeeded in convincing my judgment of its truth either by means of the Canonical Writing themselves, or by arguments addressed to my reason."
St. Augustine, Letter LXXXII to Jerome, NPNF Vol. 1, First Series, p. 350.
"[Abbot Theodore] therefore, when some of the brethren were wondering at the splendid light of his knowledge and were asking of him some meanings of Scripture, said that a monk who wanted to acquire a knowledge of the Scritpures ought not to spend his labour on the works of commentators, but rather to keep all the efforts of his mind and intentions of his heart set on purifying himself from carnal vices: for when these are driven out, at once the eyes of the heart, as if the veil of the passions were removed will begin as it were naturally to gaze on the mysteries of Scripture since they were not declared to us by the grace of the Holy Spirit in order that they should remain unknown and obscure; but they are rendered obscure by our fault, as the veil of our sins covers the eyes of the heart, and when these are restored to their natural state of health, the pure reading of Holy Scripture is by itself amply sufficient for beholding the true knowledge, nor do they need the aid of commentators, just as these eyes of flesh need no man's teaching how to see, provided they are free from dimness of the darkness and blindness."
John Cassian, The Institutes, Book V, 'Of the Spirit of Gluttony,' Chapt. XXXIV, NPNF, Seond Series, Vol. II, p. 245.
"It may well happen that what is in itself the more certain may seem to us the less certain on account of the weakness of our intelligence...Hence the fact that some happen to doubt about articles of faith is not due to the uncertain nature of the truths, but to the weakness of human intelligence."
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Vol. 1, Q1, Article V, Reply Obj. 1
"God's Word is a lamp in the night of this world."
Johann Eberlin commenting on Ps. 119:105/2 Peter 1:19
