And as amultitude of laws often only hampers justice, so that a state is bestgoverned when, with few laws, these are rigidly administered; in likemanner, instead of the great number of precepts of which logic iscomposed, I believed that the four following would prove perfectlysufficient for me, provided I took the firm and unwavering resolutionnever in a single instance to fail in observing them. The first was never to accept anything for true which I did not clearlyknow to be such; that is to ...say, carefully to avoid precipitancy andprejudice, and to comprise nothing more in my judgement than what waspresented to my mind so clearly and distinctly as to exclude all groundof doubt. The second, to divide each of the difficulties under examination intoas many parts as possible, and as might be necessary for its adequatesolution. The third, to conduct my thoughts in such order that, by commencingwith objects the simplest and easiest to know, I might ascend by littleand little, and, as it were, step by step, to the knowledge of the morecomplex; assigning in thought a certain order even to those objectswhich in their own nature do not stand in a relation of antecedence andsequence.
