It was inspiring to see wild-eyed frolic and warm-hearted hospitality breaking out from among the chills and looms of winter , and old age throwing off his apathy , and catching once more the freshness of youthful enjoyment . It is certain that I no less find the idea of God , that is to say , the idea of a supremely perfect Being , in me , than that of any figure or number whatever it is ; and I do not know any less clearly and distinctly that an [ actual and ] eternal existence pertains to this nature than I know that all that which I am able to demonstrate of some figure or number truly pertains to the nature of this figure or number , and therefore , although all that I concluded in the preceding Meditations were found to be false , the existence of God would pass with me as at least as certain as I have ever held the truths of mathematics ( which concern only numbers and figures ) to be . We assumed that the number of foreign final holding facilities is equivalent to the number of domestic importers . However , these new competitors are unable to gain revenue from call termination , and only competitors who have their own fixed access , such as radio loop or business customers with a fixed link to another operator , are truly able to compete against the incumbent . He that is to govern a whole nation must read in himself , not this , or that particular man ; but mankind : which though it be hard to do , harder than to learn any language or science ; yet , when I shall have set down my own reading orderly and perspicuously , the pains left another will be only to consider if he also find not the same in himself . And first of all , because I know that all things which I apprehend clearly and distinctly can be created by God as I apprehend them , it suffices that I am able to apprehend one thing apart from another clearly and distinctly in order to be certain that the one is different from the other , since they may be made to exist in separation at least by the omnipotence of God ; and it does not signify by what power this separation is made in order to compel me to judge them to be different : and , therefore , just because I know certainly that I exist , and that meanwhile I do not remark that any other thing necessarily pertains to my nature or essence , excepting that I am a thinking thing , I rightly conclude that my essence consists solely in the fact that I am a thinking thin [ or a substance whose whole essence or nature is to think ] .
