Science Increases Our Power In Proportion As It Lowers Our Pride.

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.

In The Patient Who Succumbed, The Cause Of Death Was Evidently Something Which Was Not Found In The Patient Who Recovered; This Something We Must Determine, And Then We Can Act On The Phenomena Or Recognize And Foresee Them Accurately. But Not By Statistics Shall We Succeed In This; Never Have Statistics Taught Anything, And Never Can They Teach Anything About The Nature Of The Phenomenon.

The Goal Of Scientific Physicians In Their Own Science ... Is To Reduce The Indeterminate. Statistics Therefore Apply Only To Cases In Which The Cause Of The Facts Observed Is Still Indeterminate.

Men Who Have Excessive Faith In Their Theories ... Make Poor Observations, Because They Choose Among The Results Of Their Experiments Only What Suits Their Object, Neglecting Whatever Is Unrelated To It And Carefully Setting Aside Everything Which Might Tend Toward The Idea They Wish To Combat
