The Senses Alone Are Not Implicitly To Be Depended On.

I Am Ready To Reject All Belief And Reasoning, And Can Look Upon No Opinion Even As More Probable Or Likely Than Another.

The Feelings Of Our Heart, The Agitation Of Our Passions, The Vehemence Of Our Affections, Dissipate All Its Conclusions, And Reduce The Profound Philosopher To A Mere Plebeian

Eloquence, When In Its Highest Pitch, Leaves Little Room For Reason Or Reflection.
