Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
书时不可存心者,不可尽信书上所言,亦不可只寻章摘句,而应推敲 细思。
Instinct, intuition, or insight is what first leads to the beliefs which subsequent reason confirms or confutes; but the confirmation, where it is possible, consists, in the last analysis, of agreement with other beliefs no less instinctive.
本能、直觉或首先导致随后的理性证实或反驳的信念; 但归根结底, 在可能的情况下, 确认包括与其他同样本能的信念的一致。
