Illusory Joy Is Often Worth

I Concluded That I Might Take As A General Rule The Principle That All Things Which We Very Clearly And Obviously Conceive Are True: Only Observing, However, That There Is Some Difficulty In Rightly Determining The Objects Which We Distinctly Conceive.

When Writing About Transcendental Issues, Be Transcendentally Clear.

Even If I Were To Suppose That I Was Dreaming And Whatever I Saw Or Imagined Was False, Yet I Could Not Deny That Ideas Were Truly In My Mind.

The Senses Deceive From Time To Time, And It Is Prudent Never To Trust Wholly Those Who Have Deceived Us Even Once.

Just As We Believe By Faith That The Greatest Happiness Of The Next Life Consists Simply In The Contemplation Of This Divine Majesty, Likewise We Experience That We Derive The Greatest Joy Of Which We Are Capable In This Life From The Same Contemplation, Even Though It Is Much Less Perfect.
