Those who set up a fictitious worship, merely worship and adore their own delirious fancies; indeed, they would never dare so to trifle with God, had they not previously fashioned him after their own childish conceits.

The worship of God is…the only thing which renders men superior to brutes, and makes them aspire to immortality.

Lawful worship consists in obedience alone.

For what is idolatry if not this: to worship the gifts in place of the Giver himself?
