"nothing is more equivocal and more confusing than the actions of men, and often nothing is more false than what passes for certain with an entire culture.""il n’y a rien de plus équivoque et de plus confus que les actions des hommes, et souvent rien de plus faux que ce qui passe pour certain chez peoples entiers."
Nicholas Malebranche, Treatise on ethics (1684) V.xvi, trans. Craig Walton, Archives internationales d'histoire des idées 133 (Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1993), 80; French from here for now.
