William Wallace

The objects of philosophy, it is true, are upon the whole the same as those of religion.

In both the object is Truth, in that supreme sense in which God and God only is the Truth.

in point of time the mind makes general images of objects, long before it makes notions of them,

We can assume nothing, and assert nothing dogmatically; nor can we accept the assertions

Philosophy, on the other hand, is a peculiar mode of thinking—a mode in which thinking becomes knowledge, and knowledge through notions

strictly human and thought-induced phenomena of consciousness do not originally appear in the form of a thought, but as a feeling, a perception, or mental image

Man,—and that just because it is his nature to think,—is the only being that possesses law, religion, and morality.
