"we are all agreed upon this one thing : what we must live for and what is good.
I and all men have only one firm, incontestable, clear knowledge and that knowledge cannot be explained by the reason- it is outside it, and has no causes and can have no effects.
If goodness has causes, it is not goodness;
if ti has effects, a reward, it is not goodness either.
So goodness is outside the chain of cause & effect"
