Doubt is the origin of wisdom
French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. A native of the Kingdom of France, he spent about 20 years of his life in the Dutch Republic after serving for a while in the Dutch States Army of Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange and the Stadtholder of the United Provinces.
The truth springs from arguments amongst friends
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do
Surely silence can sometimes be the most eloquent reply
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them
Nothing in life is to be feared it is only to be understood
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked
