Opinions have vested interests just as men have. - Samuel Butler
это почти как сам я: Our strongest convictions are usually the most self-serving. - yhs
и еще он же: Though analogy is often misleading, it is the least misleading thing we have. - как Черчилль про демократию.
и Иметь свое собственное мнение можно лишь в том случае, если знаешь, как его опровергнуть. не могу найти по-английски.
Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. - тут я бы поправил, conclusions are insufficient as well.
а вот If you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are contrary to reason. - точно предчувствие Гёделя. и как следствие: Logic is like the sword - those who appeal to it, shall perish by it.
