ORATION ON THE DIGNITY OF MAN
"We have given you, Oh Adam; no visage proper to yourself, nor any
endowment properly your own, in order that whatever place, whatever
form, whatever gifts you may, with premeditation, select, these same
you may have and possess through your own judgment and decision. The
nature of all other creatures is defined and restricted within laws
which We have laid down; you, by contrast, impeded by no such
restrictions, may, by your own free will, to whose custody We have
assigned you, trace for yourself the lineaments of your own nature. I
have placed you at the very center of the world, so that from that
vantage point you may with greater ease glance round about you on all
that the world contains. We have made you a creature neither of heaven
nor of earth, neither mortal nor immortal, in order that you may, as
the free and proud shaper of your own being, fashion yourself in the
form you may prefer. It will be in your power to descend to the lower,
brutish forms of life; you will be able, through your own decision, to
rise again to the superior orders whose life is divine"
