The philosopher forms his principles on an infinity of particular observations. . . He does not confuse truth with plausibility. . . he takes for truth what is true, for false what is false, for doubtful what is doubtful, and probable what is probable. . . The philosophical spirit is thus a spirit of observation and accuracy.
