It Is Not Knowing, But The Love

There Is Not A Single Truth Of Science Upon Which We Ought To Bet More Than About A Million Of Millions To One.

Every Man Is Fully Satisfied That There Is Such A Thing As Truth, Or He Would Not Ask Any Question.

It Is Not Too Much To Say That Next After The Passion To Learn There Is No Quality So Indispensable To The Successful Prosecutionof Science As Imagination. Find Me A People Whose Early Medicine Is Not Mixed Up With Magic And Incantations, And I Will Find You A People Devoid Of All Scientific Ability.

The Entire Universe Is Perfused With Signs, If It Is Not Composed Exclusively Of Signs.

The Truth Is, That Common-sense, Or Thought As It First Emerges Above The Level Of The Narrowly Practical, Is Deeply Imbued With That Bad Logical Quality To Which The Epithet Metaphysical Is Commonly Applied; And Nothing Can Clear It Up But A Severe Course Of Logic.
