Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.
George Berkeley Quotes
From my own being, and from the dependency I find in myself and my ideas, I do, by an act of reason, necessarily infer the existence of a God, and of all created things in the mind of God.

About
George Berkeley was born in Kilkenny, Ireland. He was an Irish philosopher whose primary achievement was the advancement of a theory he called "immaterialism". He is best known for his early works on vision and metaphysics. He is also known for his critique of abstraction, an important premise in his argument for immaterialism. In 1709, he published his first major work, An Essay towards a New Theory of Vision, in which he discussed the limitations of human vision and advanced the theory that the proper objects of sight are not material objects, but light and colour. His last major philosophical work, Siris, begins by advocating the medicinal use of tar water and then continues to discuss a wide range of topics, including science, philosophy, and theology. He was educated at Kilkenny College and attended Trinity College, Dublin, earning a bachelor's degree in 1704 and completing a master's degree in 1707.
