Rene Descartes

Rene Descartes

.

The greatest minds, as they are capable of the highest excellencies, are open likewise to the greatest aberrations.
~ in Discourse On Method

No opinion, however absurd and incredible, can be imagined, which has not been maintained by some one of the philosophers.
~ in Discourse On Method

Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.
~ in Discourse On Method

What is there, then, that can be esteemed true? Perhaps this only that there is absolutely nothing certain.
~ in Meditationes de prima philosophia

The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in you life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.
