God has placed you in this world to manifest His goodness. He has given you intelligence so that you might know Him, a memory so that you might remember Him, a will to love him, and an imagination to remind you of His benefits, eyes to see His wonderful works, a tongue to praise Him. He has made you in his image.
- St. Francis de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life
