Famous quotes containing the words research and/or methods:

    If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.

    Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
