The Minds That Rise And

The Terrain Is Everything; The Germ Is Nothing.

Obervation Is A Passive Science, Experimentation Is An Active Science.

We Must Alter Theory To Adapt It To Nature, But Not Nature To Adapt It To Theory.‎

Proof That A Given Condition Always Precedes Or Accompanies A Phenomenon Does Not Warrant Concluding With Certainty That A Given Condition Is The Immediate Cause Of That Phenomenon. It Must Still Be Established That When This Condition Is Removed, The Phenomen Will No Longer Appear.

To Be Worthy Of The Name, An Experimenter Must Be At Once Theorist And Practitioner. While He Must Completely Master The Art Of Establishing Experimental Facts, Which Are The Materials Of Science, He Must Also Clearly Understand The Scientific Principles Which Guide His Reasoning Through The Varied Experimental Study Of Natural Phenomena. We Cannot Separate These Two Things: Head And Hand. An Able Hand, Without A Head To Direct It, Is A Blind Tool; The Head Is Powerless Without Its Executive Hand.
