There is that in God which we can perceive: it is visible to all if we are content with the possible. Just as with the sun we can see something, if we are content to see what can be seen, but if we strain beyond the possible we lose all: so is it with the nature of God. There is that which we can understand if we are content with understanding what we can: but aim beyond your powers and you will lose even the power of attaining what was within your reach.

Hilary of Poitiers, De Trinitate 10.53

But if desire had not forestalled reason: if the understanding of the truth had moved us to desire what was true: instead of trying to set up our desires as doctrines, we should let our doctrines dictate our desires; there would be no contradiction of the truth, for every one would begin by desiring what was true, not by defending the truth of that which he desired.

Hilary of Poitiers, De Trinitate 10.1

For an innocent minister is profitable to himself alone unless he be instructed also; while he that is instructed has nothing to support his teaching unless he be innocent.

Hilary of Poitiers, De Trinitate 8.1

It is the peculiar property of the Church that when she is buffeted she is triumphant, when she is assaulted with argument she proves herself in the right, when she is deserted by her supporters she holds the field.

Hilary of Poitiers, De Trinitate, 7.4

Where the fear of God, which is the beginning of wisdom, is absent, no glimmer of intelligence survives.

Hilary of Poitiers, De Trinitate 5.26

And therefore this masquerade of a finite nature boasting that it possesses the wisdom that springs only from infinite knowledge earns the scorn and ridicule of the Apostle, who calls its wisdom folly.

Hilary of Poitiers, De Trinitate 3.24

The error of others compels us to err in daring to embody in human terms truths which ought to be hidden in the silent veneration of the heart. -St Hilary of Poitiers

He’s proud to be an American

"My soul measured the mighty workings of God, wrought on the scale of His eternal omnipotence, not by its own powers of perception but by a boundless faith; and therefore refused to disbelieve, because it could not understand, that God was in the beginning with God, and that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, but bore in mind the truth that with the will to believe would come the power to understand."

Hilary of Poitiers, De Trinitate, 1.12.
