Mental Balance

Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or balance:

    The very hope of experimental philosophy, its expectation of constructing the sciences into a true philosophy of nature, is based on induction, or, if you please, the a priori presumption, that physical causation is universal; that the constitution of nature is written in its actual manifestations, and needs only to be deciphered by experimental and inductive research; that it is not a latent invisible writing, to be brought out by the magic of mental anticipation or metaphysical mediation.
    Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)

    We must introduce a new balance in the relationship between the individual and the government—a balance that favors greater individual freedom and self-reliance.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
