Famous quotes containing the words observation and/or posts:
“There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.”
—Denis Diderot (17131784)
“Get posts and letters, and make friends with speed;
Never so few, and never yet more need.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
