The Ethics.
" . . . Nature has no fixed goal and . . . all
final causes are but figments of the human imagination."1a
ARISTOTLE
"He who has a true
idea knows at the same time that he has a true idea, and
cannot doubt its truth."1b*
"In the mind there
is no absolute, or free, will. The mind is determined to
this or that volition by a cause, which is likewise determined by
another cause, and this again by another, and so ad infinitum."1c*
AUGUSTINE
EINSTEIN
"If
men were born free, they would form no conception of good and evil
so long as they were free."1d*
SOROS
"The free man never acts deceitfully, but always with good
faith."1e*
SOROS
"To act in
absolute conformity with virtue is nothing else in us but
to act, to live, to preserve one's own being (these three
mean the same) under the guidance of reason, on the basis
of seeking one's own advantage."1f*
DARWIN
RAND
" . . . [T]hose who know the true use of money set the
limit of their wealth solely according to their needs, and live
content with little."1g*
"Blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue
itself. . . "1h*
