In order to improve the mind, we ought less to learn, than to contemplate.
From Rene Descartes
One cannot conceive anything so strange and so implausible that it has not already been said by one philosopher or another.
There is nothing so strange and so unbelievable that it has not been said by one philosopher or another.
Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.
When it is not in our power to follow what is true, we ought to follow what is most probable.
Whenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it.
