—Rene Descartes
Le bon sens est la chose du monde la mieux partagée : car chacun pense en être si bien pourvu, que ceux même qui sont les plus difficiles à contenter en toute autre chose, n’ont point coutume d’en désirer plus qu’ils en ont. Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that those even who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess.
—René Descartes
Veritatem inquirenti, semel in vita de omnibus, quantum fieri potest, esse dubitandum. In order to seek truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life, to doubt, as far as possible, of all things.
