Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur Quotes

• Facts are certainly the solid and true foundation of all sectors of nature study ... Reasoning must never find itself contradicting definite facts; but reasoning must allow us to distinguish, among facts that have been reported, those that we can fully believe, those that are questionable, and those that are false. It will not allow us to lend faith to those that are directly contrary to others whose certainty is known to us; it will not allow us to accept as true those that fly in the face of unquestionable principles.

• Infinidad de estos diminutos animales defolian nuestras plantas, nuestros árboles, nuestros frutos... atacan nuestras casas, nuestros tejidos, nuestros muebles, nuestras ropas, nuestras pieles... Aquel que, al estudiar todas las especies de insectos que nos perjudican, busque los medios de impedir que nos dañen, de hacer que perezcan, se propone como objetivo tareas ciertamente importantes.
