Though the familiar use of things about us take off our wonder, yet it cures not our ignorance.
John Locke
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
John Locke
Mathematical proofs, like diamonds, are hard and clear, and will be touched with nothing but strict reasoning.
