Man is simply the best chance we know of that matter has had of providing itself with information about itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We never, ever in the history of mankind have had access to so much information so quickly and so easily.
That though we are certain of many things, yet that Certainty is no absolute Infallibility, there still remains the possibility of our being mistaken in all matters of humane Belief and Inquiry.

It seems to me that man is made to act rather than to know: the principles of things escape our most persevering researches.
