Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! "Have courage to use your own understanding!"-that is the motto of enlightenment.

    The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is.

      in Quotes & Aphorisms (Wisdom)
      Give thy thoughts no tongue,
      Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
      Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar.
      Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
      Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel,
      But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
      Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
      Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
      Bear 't that th' opposèd may beware of thee.
      Give every man thy ear but few thy voice.
      Take each man's censure but reserve thy judgment.
      Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
      But not expressed in fancy--rich, not gaudy,
      For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
      And they in France of the best rank and station
      Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
      Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
      For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
      And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
      This above all: to thine own self be true,
      And it must follow, as the night the day,
      Thou canst not then be false to any man.
