Thomas Chalmers Quotes

The Human Mind Feels Restless And Dissatisfied Under The Anxieties Of Ignorance. It Longs For The Repose Of Conviction; And To Gain This Repose It Will Often Rather Precipitate Its Conclusions Than Wait For The Tardy Lights Of Observation And Experiment. There Is Such A Thing, Too, As The Love Of Simplicity And System,
a Prejudice Of The Understanding Which Disposes It To Include All The Phenomena Of Nature Under A Few Sweeping Generalities,
an Indolence Which Loves To Repose On The Beauties Of A Theory Rather Than Encounter The Fatiguing Detail Of Its Evidences.
