Interesting thoughts from Logica sive Ars Cogitandi

De rebus, ipsis ex rebus neutiquam judicamus, sed ex eo quod respectu nostri sunt. Nobis namque unum idemque sunt verum et utile. (We judge things not by what they are in themselves, but by what they are in relation to us. For us truth and utility are the same thing.) p. 204.

Haec animi indoles pessima, et viro pectoris bene praeparati indignissima est. Qualis qualis tamen est e modernis Philosophorum scholis prodiit, in quibus mos viget de re omni contentiose altercandi, gloriaque ducitur nunquam cedere, nunquam manus dare. IV, VI p. 246
