“Perhaps it is not without reason that we attribute facility in belief and conviction to simplicity and ignorance. … The more a mind is empty and without counterpoise, the more easily it gives beneath the weight of the first persuasive argument. … But then, on the other hand, it is foolish presumption to go around disdaining and condemning as false whatever does not seem likely to us; which is an ordinary vice in those who think they have more than common ability. I used to do so once.”

I.27 “It is folly to measure the true and false by our own capacity” (p. 160)

[Maybe part of what I remember as Montaigne talking about faith?]
