The only thing that I know, is that I know nothing

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

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.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

You just keep pushing. You just keep pushing. I made every mistake that could be made. But I just kept pushing.

Neither divine grace nor natural knowledge ever diminishes freedom.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

Before examining this more ca...

Before examining this more carefully and investigating its consequences, I want to dwell for a moment in the contemplation of God, to ponder His attributes in me, to see, admire, and adore the beauty of His boundless light, insofar as my clouded insight allows. Believing that the supreme happiness of the other life consists wholly of the contemplation of divine greatness, I now find that through less perfect contemplation of the same sort I can gain the greatest joy available in this life.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

The reading of all good books...

The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

Whenever anyone has offended ...

Whenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

One cannot conceive anything ...

One cannot conceive anything so strange and so implausible that it has not already been said by one philosopher or another.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

Common sense is the most fair...

Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

Nothing is more fairly distri...

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

Illusory joy is often worth more than genuine sorrow.

It is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived.

Rene Descartes 177 quotes

I hope that posterity will judge me kindly, not only as to the things which I have explained, but also to those which I have intentionally omitted so as to leave to others the pleasure of discovery.

Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.
