investigating nature you will do well to bear ever in mind that in every
question there is the truth, whatever our notions may be. This seems,
perhaps, a very simple consideration, yet it is strange how often it seems
to be disregarded. I remember at an early period of my own life
showing to a man of high reputation as a teacher some matters which I
happened to have observed. And I was very much struck and grieved to
find that, while all the facts lay equally clear before him, those only
which squared with his previous theories seemed to affect his organs of
vision." |
