Thus, | | if a man bred to the seafaring life, | | and accustomed to think and talk only | | of matters relating to navigation, | | enters into discourse upon any other | | subject; it is well known, that the | | language and the notions proper to his | | own profession are infused into every | | subject, and all things are measured by | | the rules of navigation: and if he | | should take it into his head to | | philosophize concerning the faculties | | of the mind, it cannot be doubted, but | | he would draw his notions from the | | fabric of the ship, and would find in | | the mind, sails, masts, rudder, and | | compass. | | | | -- Thomas Reid, "An Inquiry into the | \ Human Mind", 1764 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
