Additional quotes by René Descartes

Εκείνοι που έχουν μεγαλύτερη συλλογιστική ικανότητα και επεξεργάζονται καλύτερα τις σκέψεις τους, προκειμένου να τις καταστήσουν σαφείς και κατανοητές, μπορούν πάντα να κάνουν πιο πειστικά τα λεγόμενα τους, έστω και αν δεν μιλούν.

I entirely abandoned the study of letters. Resolving to seek no knowledge other than that of which could be found in myself or else in the great book of the world, I spent the rest of my youth traveling, visiting courts and armies, mixing with people of diverse temperaments and ranks, gathering various experiences, testing myself in the situations which fortune offered me, and at all times reflecting upon whatever came my way so as to derive some profit from it.
