Famous quotes containing the word observation:

    “He is one of those that deserve very well, but are very awkward at putting their Talents within the Observation of such as should take Notice of them.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    “Men look on knowledge which they learn—or might learn—from others as they do on the most beautiful structures which are not their own: in outward objects, they would rather behold their own hogsty than their neighbor’s palace; and in mental ones, would prefer one grain of knowledge gained by their own observation to all the wisdom of a thousand Solomons.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
