The Fools Of The World Have Been

We Delight In One Knowable Thing, Which Comprehends All That Is Knowable; In One Apprehensible, Which Draws Together All That Can Be Apprehended; In A Single Being That Includes All, Above All In The One Which Is Itself The All.

There Is A Single General Space, A Single Vast Immensity Which We May Freely Call Void: In It Are Unnumerable Globes Like This On Which We Live And Grow, This Space We Declare To Be Infinite, Since Neither Reason, Convenience, Sense-perception Nor Nature Assign To It A Limit.

Truth Does Not Change Because It Is, Or Is Not, Believed By A Majority Of The People.

Time Takes All And Gives All

My Son, I Do Not Say These Are Foals And Those Asses, These Little Monkeys And Those Great Baboons, As You Would Have Me Do. As I Told You From The First, I Regard Them As Earth's Heroes. But I Do Not Wish To Believe Them Without Cause, Nor To Accept Those Propositions Whose Antitheses (as You Must Have Understood If You Are Not Both Blind And Deaf) Are So Compellingly True.
