Are these quotes ENLIGHTENED?

Galileo Galilei
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use and by some other means given us knowledge which we can attain by them."

"I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him."

Sir Isaac Newton
"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants."

"We build too many walls and not enough bridges."

Rene Descartes
"If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things."

"Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one
thinks he needs more of it than he already has."

Jean Jacques Rousseau
"Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains!"

"I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about."


Ben Franklin
"He was so intelligent, that he could name a horse in nine Languages. So ignorant, that he bought a cow to ride on."

"He that lies down with dogs shall rise up with fleas."
