Neither Divine Grace Nor Natural Knowledge Ever

If I Simply Refrain From Making A Judgment In Cases Where I Do Not Perceive The Truth With Sufficient Clarity And Distinctness, Then It Is Clear That I Am Behaving Correctly And Avoiding Error.

Illusory Joy Is Often Worth More Than Genuine Sorrow.

Although My Knowledge Grows More And More, Nevertheless I Do Not For That Reason Believe That It Can Ever Be Actually Infinite, Since It Can Never Reach A Point So High That It Will Be Unable To Attain Any Greater Increase.

Some Years Ago I Was Struck By The Large Number Of Falsehoods That I Had Accepted As True In My Childhood, And By The Highly Doubtful Nature Of The Whole Edifice That I Had Subsequently Based On Them. I Realized That It Was Necessary, Once In The Course Of My Life, To Demolish Everything Completely And Start Again Right From The Foundations If I Wanted To Establish Anything At All In The Sciences That Was Stable And Likely To Last.

Nothing Comes Out Of Nothing.
