Proslogion

English, translated by Sidney Norton Deane — Proslogium; Monologium; an Appendix in Behalf of the Fool by Gaunilon; and Cur Deus Homo, translated by Sidney Norton Deane, 1903

God is the very life whereby he lives; and so of other like attributes.

BUT undoubtedly, whatever thou art, thou art through nothing else than thyself. Therefore, thou art the very life whereby thou livest; and the wisdom wherewith thou art wise; and the very goodness whereby thou art good to the righteous and the wicked; and so of other like attributes.
