Pierre Bayle Quotes

I am a good Protestant, and in the full sense of the term, for from the bottom of my soul, I protest against everything that is said, and everything that is done Picture Quote #1
I know too much to be a sceptic and too little to be a dogmatist Picture Quote #1
Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race Picture Quote #1
The antiquity and general acceptance of an opinion is not assurance of its truth Picture Quote #1
One must be stark mad, to believe that mankind can subsist without magistrates Picture Quote #1
If an historian were to relate truthfully all the crimes, weaknesses, and disorders of mankind, his readers would take his work for satire rather than for history Picture Quote #1

I mention this only to shew that the citations of the most judicious authors frequently deceive us, and consequently that prudence obliges us to examine quotations, by whomsoever alleged Picture Quote #1
In matters of religion, it is very easy to deceive a man and very hard to undeceive him Picture Quote #1
Philosophy can be compared to some powders that are so corrosive that, after they have eaten away the infected flesh of a wound, they then devour the living flesh, rot the bones, and penetrate to the very marrow. Philosophy at first refutes errors. But if it is not stopped at this point, it goes on to attack truths. And when it is left on its own, it goes so far that it no longer knows where it is and can find no stopping place Picture Quote #1
The movement of comets is part of the ordinary works of nature which, without regard to the happiness or misery of mankind, are transported from one part of the heavens to another by virtue of the general laws of motion Picture Quote #1
It is only common prejudice that induces us to believe that atheism is a fearful state Picture Quote #1
I get up and retire when I wish. I go out if I wish and I do not go out if I do not desire to do so, except for the two days on which I give lectures Picture Quote #1

It is pure illusion to think that an opinion that passes down from century to century, from generation to generation, may not be entirely false Picture Quote #1
There is not less wit nor less invention in applying rightly a thought one finds in a book, than in being the first author of that thought Picture Quote #1
