“We are by nature observers, and thereby learners. This is our permanent state.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson (verified)“I’m afraid that’s the way it [reality] is. If there are twenty factors and they interact some, you’ll have to learn to handle it—because that’s the way the world is. But you won’t find it that hard if you go at it Darwin-like, step by step with curious persistence. You’ll be amazed at how good you can get.”
— Charlie Munger (verified)“Every scientific law, every scientific principle, every statement of the results of an observation is some kind of a summary which leaves out details.”
— Richard Feynman (verified)“Observation is the ultimate and final judge of the truth of an idea.”
— Richard Feynman (verified)“Observe all men; thyself most.”
— Benjamin Franklin (verified)
