I havespoken more fully on this head in another place. But as some are tooslow of apprehension, and some too careless, men stand in perpetualneed of caution. For we are not people who believe that there isnothing whatever which is true; but we say that some falsehoods are soblended with all truths, and have so great a resemblance to them, thatthere is no certain rule for judging of or assenting to propositions;from which this maxim also follows, that many things are probable, which, though they... are not evident to the senses, have still sopersuasive and beautiful an aspect that a wise man chooses to directhis conduct by them.
VI. Now, to free myself from the reproach of partiality, I propose tolay before you the opinions of various philosophers concerning thenature of the Gods, by which means all men may judge which of them areconsistent with truth; and if all agree together, or if any one shallbe found to have discovered what may be absolutely called truth, I willthen give up the Academy as vain and arrogant.
