For my part, I too much value the pursuit of truth and the discovery of any new fact in nature, to avoid inquiry because it appears to clash with prevailing opinions.—Wm. Crookes, F.R.S.
The secret of success is constancy to purpose.—Lord Beaconsfield.
The simple peasant who observes a fact
And from a fact deduces principles,
Adds social treasure to the public wealth.
Facts are the basis of Philosophy.
Philosophy is the harmony of facts
Seen in their right relations.—Lyrics of a Golden Age.
