Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinions they form of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves.
Francois de La RochefoucauldWe 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 Rochefoucauld
