James and Warrington

knowing the difference

We must know where to doubt, where to feel certain, where to submit.
He who does not do so, understands not the force of reason.

There are some who offend against these three rules, either by affirming everything as demonstrative, from want of knowing what demonstration is; or by doubting everything, from want of knowing where to submit; or by submitting in everything, from want of knowing where they must judge.

- Blaise Pascal
