Henry David Thoreau
1086 citations

Observation is so wide awake, and facts are being so rapidly added to the sum of human experience, that it appears as if the theorizer would always be in arrears, and were doomed forever to arrive at imperfect conclusion; but the power to perceive a law is equally rare in all ages of the world, and depends but little on the number of facts observed. ✨ Henry David Thoreau, Eva Mae Burkett, Joyce S.
