Rene Descartes
Doubt is the origin of wisdom
Rene Descartes
Everything is self-evident.
Rene Descartes
The greatest minds, as they are capable of the highest excellencies, are open likewise to the greatest aberrations and those who travel very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to the straight road, than those who, while they run, forsake it.
Rene Descartes

Rene Descartes
