Observation Posts

Famous quotes containing the words observation and/or posts:

    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)

    Get posts and letters, and make friends with speed;
    Never so few, and never yet more need.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
