Philosophy Quote by Ravinder Singh — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! 'Have courage to use your own reason!'- that is the motto of enlightenment.”

“Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature; but he is a thinking reed.”

“Науката казва докажи ми и ще повярвам, а вярата казва повярвай и ще ти докажа!”

“Every country has the government it deserves.”
