"The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries." ― Rene Descartes Topic(s): Good More From Rene Descartes "It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well." "I am indeed amazed when I consider how weak my mind is and how prone to error." "The senses deceive from time to time, and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once." More In Good "As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids."― Steve Jobs "A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be."― Wayne Gretzky "About morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after."― Ernest Hemingway
