Art Is 'i'; Science Is 'we'.

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

[those] Who Have An Excessive Faith In Their Theories Or In Their Ideas Are Not Only Poorly Disposed To Make Discoveries, But They Also Make Very Poor Observations.

It Is Impossible To Devise An Experiment Without A Preconceived Idea; Devising An Experiment, We Said, Is Putting A Question; We Never Conceive A Question Without An Idea Which Invites An Answer. I Consider It, Therefore, An Absolute Principle That Experiments Must Always Be Devised In View Of A Preconceived Idea, No Matter If The Idea Be Not Very Clear Nor Very Well Defined.

Science Rejects The Indeterminate.

As Soon As The Circumstances Of An Experiment Are Well Known, We Stop Gathering Statistics. ... The Effect Will Occur Always Without Exception, Because The Cause Of The Phenomena Is Accurately Defined. Only When A Phenomenon Includes Conditions As Yet Undefined,only When A Phenomenon Includes Conditions As Yet Undefined, Can We Compile Statistics. ... We Must Learn Therefore That We Compile Statistics Only When We Cannot Possibly Help It; For In My Opinion, Statistics Can Never Yield Scientific Truth.
