Quotes

  • We should be very careful to distinguish between our knowledge of phenomena and our interpretations of them.
  • […] the virtues of a medicine depend less upon its intrinsic properties and powers than on the sagacity of the physician who administers it; just as the efficiency of firearms depends less upon the explosives and the missile they contain than on the judgment and accuracy of aim of the man who discharges them.
