René Descartes is famous for having said the following quotes: If you are having trouble finding a particular Descartes quote, try control + F.
To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do,
rather than what they say. The reading of all good books is
like a conversation with all the finest men of past centuries. Nothing
is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it
than he already has. If you would be a real seeker after truth,
it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible,
all things. Whenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise
my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it. It is not
enough to have a good mind, the main thing is to use it well. There
is nothing so strange and so unbelievable that it has not been said by one philosopher
or another. Everything is self-evident. Divide
each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.
Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our
power. I think therefore I am.
