We are deceived if we think that mind and judgment are two different matters: judgment is but the extent of the light of the mind. This light penetrates to the bottom of matters; it remarks all that can be remarked, and perceives what appears imperceptible. Therefore we must agree that it is the extent of the light in the mind that produces all the effects which we attribute to judgment.
Francois de La RochefoucauldHappy people rarely correct their faults; they consider themselves vindicated, since fortune endorses their evil ways.
Francois de La RochefoucauldSome disguised deceits counterfeit truth so perfectly that not to be taken in by them would be an error of judgment.
