Theologians Always Try To Turn The Bible Into A Book Without Common Sense.

Love Is Blind, But Marriage Restores Its Sight.

I Ceased In The Year 1764 To Believe That One Can Convince One’s Opponents With Arguments Printed In Books.

The More Experiences And Experiments Accumulate In The Exploration Of Nature, The More Precarious The Theories Become. But It Is Not Always Good To Discard Them Immediately On This Account.

We Ought To Set Down Contradictory Experiences Separately, Until Enough Have Accumulated To Make Building A New Structure Worthwhile.
