Quotations from Brainy Smurf 15
From René Descartes (1596-1650)...
"Of all things, good sense is the most fairly distributed: everyone thinks he is so well supplied with it that even those who are the hardest to satisfy in every other respect never desire more of it than they already have."
--Discours de la Méthode, 1637
"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."
--La Geometrie
"It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well."
--Discours de la Méthode, 1637
