[a Person’s] Utmost Art And Industry Can

Nothing Indeed Can Be A Stronger Presumption Of Falsehood Than The Approbation Of The Multitude.

To Hate, To Love, To Think, To Feel, To See; All This Is Nothing But To Perceive.

Tho' There Be No Such Thing As Chance In The World; Our Ignorance Of The Real Ccause Of Any Event Has The Same Influence On The Understanding, And Begets A Like Species Of Belief Or Opinion.

No Conclusions Can Be More Agreeable To Scepticism Than Such As Make Discoveries Concerning The Weakness And Narrow Limits Of Human Reason And Capacity.

Men Are Much Oftener Thrown On Their Knees By The Melancholy Than By The Agreeable Passions.
