Arthur David Ritchie Quotes

• Lo primero que debe hacer el hombre razonable es contentarse con muy poco conocimiento y mucha ignorancia. Lo segundo que debe hacer es hacer el mayor uso posible del conocimiento que tiene y no malgastar su energía clamando por la luna. La tercera cosa que debe hacer es intentar ver claramente dónde termina su conocimiento y dónde empieza su ignorancia.

• The fact that the regions of nature actually covered by known laws are few and fragmentary is concealed by the natural tendency to crowd our experience into those particular regions and to leave the others to themselves. We seek out those parts that are known and familiar and avoid those that are unknown and unfamiliar. This is simply what is called 'Applied Science.'

• But it seems to me equally obvious that the orderliness is not all-pervasive. There are streaks of order to be found among the chaos, and the nature of scientific method is to seek these out and to stick to them when found and to reject or neglect the chaos. It is obvious that we have succeeded in finding some order in nature, but this fact in itself does not prove anything farther.
