These rare senses and powers of reasoning were given to be used freely, but not audaciously, to discover, not to pervert the truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yet, analytical truth is not as mysterious, or as secret, so as to not allow us to see that people with a talent for directing consciences see truth rise spontaneously.
Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful.
The road to freedom lies not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of natural forces and laws.
Why waste time trying to discover the truth, when you can so easily create it?
In the discovery of secret things and in the investigation of hidden causes, stronger reasons are obtained from sure experiments and demonstrated arguments than from probable conjectures and the opinions of philosophical speculators of the common sort.
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more strongly the truths come from on high, and contained in the sacred writings.
The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.
The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
