„Philosophy being nothing else but the study of Wisdom and Truth, it may with reason be expected, that those who have spent most Time and Pains in it shou’d enjoy a greater calm and serenity of Mind, a greater clearness and evidence of Knowlege, and be less disturb’d with Doubts and Difficulties than other Men.“ (§1) #Berkeley #philosophy #wisdom #truth
