- Hvis vi havde vundet noget ved Kampen, vilde denne Vinding jo ikke svinde bort, fordi man søgte nærmere at bestemme den; den vilde kun lyse endnu mere selvforståelig for de mange.
- If we had gained anything by the battle, this gain would not vanish because one sought to more closely determine it; it would only shine all the more self-evident to the many.

- Guds tilværelse er meget mere for dem en selvforståelig forudsætning, hvis gyldighed er givet i og med den sunde menneskeforstands vidnesbyrd.
- God's existence is much more for them a self-evident presupposition, whose validity is given by virtue of the testimony of healthy human reason.
