Quotes by Georg C Lichtenberg
- We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest.
- We cannot remember too often that when we observe nature, and especially the ordering of nature, it is always ourselves alone we are observing.
- We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.
- What is called an acute knowledge of human nature is mostly nothing but the observer's own weaknesses reflected back from others.
- What is the good of drawing conclusions from experience? I don't deny we sometimes draw the right conclusions, but don't we just as often draw the wrong ones?
