Doubt Is The Origin Of Wisdom

In The Matter Of A Difficult Question It Is More Likely That The Truth Should Have Been Discovered By The Few Than By The Many.

I Am Thing That Thinks: That Is, A Things That Doubts,affirms, Denies, Understands A Few Things, Is Ignorant Of Many Things, Is Willing, Is Unwilling, And Also Which Imagines And Has Sensory Perceptions.

Everybody Thinks Himself So Well Supplied With Common Sense That Even Those Most Difficult To Please. . . Never Desire More Of It Than They Already Have.

There Is Nothing So Strange And So Unbelievable That It Has Not Been Said By One Philosopher Or Another.

Neither The True Nor The False Roots Are Always Real; Sometimes They Are Imaginary; That Is, While We Can Always Imagine As Many Roots For Each Equation As I Have Assigned, Yet There Is Not Always A Definite Quantity Corresponding To Each Root We Have Imagined.
