Cogito Ergo Sum.
Two persons are credited with the quotes below. One is very well-known among economists -- amateurs and professionals, alike -- the other is better-known among philosophers and logicians.
Person A is quoted variously as saying:
"I don't need algebra, I can think."or, in an alternative version:
"I never learned math, so I had to think."Person B:
"Few persons care to study logic, because everybody conceives himself to be proficient enough in the art of reasoning already. But I observe that this satisfaction is limited to one's own ratiocination, and does not extend to that of other men."
