Licet irrideat, is qui velit ; plus apud me tamen vera ratio valebit 

 quam vulgi opinio. 



Cic. 



There are not many certain truths in this world. It is therefore in 

 the anatomy of the mind as in that of the body ; more good will 

 accrue to mankind by attending to the large, open, and perceptible 

 parts, than by studying too much such finer nerves and vessels as 

 will for ever escape our observation. The disputes are all upon 

 these last. (Pope's preface to the Essay on Man.)
