Few Men Think, Yet All Will Have

That Neither Our Thoughts, Nor Passions, Nor Ideas Formed By The Imagination, Exist Without The Mind, Is What Every Body Will Allow.

Colour, Figure, Motion, Extension And The Like, Considered Only So Many Sensations In The Mind, Are Perfectly Known, There Being Nothing In Them Which Is Not Perceived. But If They Are Looked On As Notes Or Images, Referred To Things Or Archetypes Existing Without The Mind, Then Are We Involved All In Scepticism.

I Might As Well Doubt Of My Own Being, As Of The Being Of Those Things I Actually See And Feel.

Make A Point Never Go Clear, It Is Great Odds That A Man Whose Habits And The Bent Of Whose Mind Lie A Contrary Way, Shall Be Unable To Comprehend It. So Weak A Thing Is Reason In Competition With Inclination.

That Thing Of Hell And Eternal Punishment Is The Most Absurd, As Well As The Most Disagreeable Thought That Ever Entered Into The Head Of Mortal Man.
