We are, in fact, productions of this earth.

We are, as it were, its organs.

Our eyes are the eyes of this earth;

our knowledge is the earth's knowledge.

We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native language.

Language is not simply a reporting device for experience 

but a defining framework for it.

It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.

Science is the systematic classification of experience.

The true function of philosophy 

is to educate us in the principles of reasoning 

and not to put an end to further reasoning 

by the introduction of fixed conclusions.

It's all in the mind, you know.

The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.

Ever tried. 

Ever failed. 

No matter. 

Try Again. 

Fail again. 

Fail better.

Rules and models destroy genius and art.

We would be in a nasty position indeed 

if empirical science were the only kind of science possible.

The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.

Understanding is nothing else than conception caused by speech.

Just living is not enough... 

one must have sunshine, 

freedom, 

and a little flower.

It is not enough to have a good mind; 

the main thing is to use it well.
