Charles Sanders Peirce Quotes

Every man is fully satisfied that there is such a thing as truth, or he would not ask any question Picture Quote #1

It is a common observation that those who dwell continually upon their expectations are apt to become oblivious to the requirements of their actual situation Picture Quote #1

There is not a single truth of science upon which we ought to bet more than about a million of millions to one Picture Quote #1

A true proposition is a proposition belief which would never lead to such disappointment so long as the proposition is not understood otherwise than it was intended Picture Quote #1

Still, it will sometimes strike a scientific man that the philosophers have been less intent on finding out what the facts are, than on inquiring what belief is most in harmony with their system Picture Quote #1

The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate, is what we mean by the truth, and the object represented in this opinion is the real. That is the way I would explain reality Picture Quote #1

Fate then is that necessity by which a certain result will surely be brought to pass according to the natural course of events however we may vary the particular circumstances which precede the event Picture Quote #1

The method of authority will always govern the mass of mankind; and those who wield the various forms of organized force in the state will never be convinced that dangerous reasoning ought not to be suppressed in some way Picture Quote #1

The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking Picture Quote #1

Truly, that reason upon which we plume ourselves, though it may answer for little things, yet for great decisions is hardly surer than a toss up Picture Quote #1
