My observation is that women are merely waiting for their husbands to assume leadership.

We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference unmixed with considerations of a different order.

Even scientific knowledge if there is anything to it is not a random observation of random objects for the critical objectivity of significant knowledge is attained as a practice only philosophically in inner action.

How pathetically scanty my self-knowledge is compared with say my knowledge of my room. There is no such thing as observation of the inner world as there is of the outer world.

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature reflection and experimentation. Observation collects facts reflection combines them experimentation verifies the result of that combination.

Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do politics is what we create by what we work for by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine.

It is now possible to quantify people's levels of happiness pretty accurately by asking them by observation and by measuring electrical activity in the brain in degrees from terrible pain to sublime joy.

A battle lost or won is easily described understood and appreciated but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection as well as observation to appreciate it.

Do you want me to apologize after every joke? If it doesn't offend somebody it's probably not a joke. It's probably an observation that's not funny. It's gotta offend somebody somewhere.

Sometimes comics will make the observation that it's not jokes that are funny it's characters that are funny. And isn't that true! That's why I always kill jokes. I'm terrible at them because I get the joke right but I can't get the character right and it just goes down like a lead balloon.

There are a lot of things that make up a performance a lot of technical things. It isn't always just about pulling it up from the darkest recesses of your mind or your heart. It's your experience and your observation.

Rhetoric and dialectics can't change what I have learned from observation and experience.

You have to experience life make observations and ask questions.

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life make observations and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop and my ambitions are different.

Observation more than books and experience more than persons are the prime educators.

Reason observation and experience the holy trinity of science.

We cannot create observers by saying 'observe ' but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.

It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.

We are very much what others think of us. The reception our observations meet with gives us courage to proceed or damps our efforts.

I have never yet seen any plan which has not been mended by the observations of those who were much inferior in understanding to the person who took the lead in the business.

There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.

Science is simply common sense at its best that is rigidly accurate in observation and merciless to fallacy in logic.

No matter what a woman's appearance may be it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

All ideas come about through some sort of observation. It sparks an attitude some object or emotion causes a reaction in the other person.
