It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

Henry Ford

He doesn't watch, he notices.

Thomas D'evelyn

They who are in the highest places, and have the most power, have the least liberty, because they are the most observed.

John Tillotson

Where observation is concerned, chance favors only the prepared mind.

Louis Pasteur

In the field of observation, chance favors only the prepared mind.

Louis Pasteur

Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.

Cicero

A traveller without observation is a bird without wings.

Muslih uddin Sadi

RATIONAL, adj. Devoid of all delusions save those of observation, experience and reflection.

Ambrose Bierce

Hollywood is a place where they place you under contract instead of under observation.

Walter Winchell

This observation suggests a dramatic and perhaps permanent perturbation of the natural history of the disease, maybe even a cure. Longer follow-up will determine whether this interpretation is correct.

Gabriel Hortobagyi

A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.

Alexis Carrel

Everybody seems to think Madeleine sounds like Billie Holiday, ... I think that's OK, but it's really not all that important an observation. She sounds a little bit like Billie to me, but that's not anything to make a big deal about it.

Marian Mcpartland

There is no more difficult art to acquire than the art of observation, and for some men it is quite as difficult to record an observation in brief and plain language.

Sir William Osler

When it comes to this music, it just seems to be a foregone conclusion that there is going to be some kind of excuse for things not being able to be implemented that are deemed necessary for the successful realization of the music. I know that this is sounding clumsy and that it could easily be misinterpreted, but one doesn't have to be a brain trust to make the observation that I've just made.

Bill Dixon

It [the virus] is extremely difficult to get rid of, so scientists do not want to raise false hope. It's a very interesting observation, but we have to be cautious to see if this observation could be confirmed.

David Ho

We made a fairly diligent search of our records. We could find no reference to any commitment to provide an observation deck.

James Gallagher

Almost every baseline fact of importance was changed -- distance, lighting, observation.

Patrick Tillman

Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others.

Edward Abbey

He will be kept under observation overnight. We won't be saying anything else until tomorrow morning.

David Whitton

A system was set in place to ensure immediate response and ensured communication between agencies. But observation of the events on Dec. 2 of the evacuations of the courthouses calls much of that into doubt.

Sen. Donald Defronzo

A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.

Frederick Douglass

The students see something that they find extremely exciting, something really interesting and they design a hypothesis around that observation. ... Then they design an experiment and write up the experiment.

Ten Eyck

This is just an interesting observation that may or may not be true and the data are not convincing in one way or another.

Dr. Felix Ratjen

Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.

Denis Diderot

He is still under our observation. But he is still stable and still in hospital.

Leon Mbangwa

Every young girl should have the opportunity of learning out-of-doors by first-hand observation, the wonders and loveliness nature has spread so lavishly-and how it grows.

Lou Henry Hoover

He's being transported to the hospital for observation. The injuries are believed to be superficial.

Danny Perez

There is a continuum which starts with direct sensory observations and proceeds to enormously complex, indirect methods of observation.

Rudolf Carnap

My observation is that all the other groups are constantly downtown and communicating their needs. I thought it was time for the businesses to be heard.

Sally Tapager

He will remain under observation in the intensive care unit and if everything goes well we will be able to take measures that will make him more comfortable.

Manuel Cervera

I'll never forget the minute that we made that observation.

Robert Hoffman

We will file first thing in the morning a motion that he be allowed to stay [at the San Juan Medical Center] for observation until Tuesday night.

Rene Saguisag

From my own observation, I can tell you that there is some concern by many Palestinians about their daily living, their daily income, and people quite afraid from the chances of some humanitarian catastrophe.

Wadia Abu Nasser

It's a great mistake, I think, to put children off with falsehoods and nonsense, when their growing powers of observation and discrimination excite in them a desire to know about things.

Anne Sullivan

But, if the model doesn't match up with the observation, strong electrical currents are indeed present in this region. Strong flares have a better chance of occurring in this region.

Marc Derosa

There was a general observation in Athens that things needed to be improved.

Giselle Davies

Where human resource development is concerned, the CSIR and Alcatel have earmarked the areas of navigation, earth observation, environmental research and meteorology.

Phil Mjwara

It's been my observation that for the most part, students are doing the leading.

Jeff Taylor

For an item that has been continued for more than three years, any observation on what might happen in the future is pure speculation.

Bob Pederson

He was brought to the hospital for further observation and to see what next steps might be taken.

Bob Condron

Direct observation includes the person having knowledge of what is being done and how to do it. It is not simply standing there and looking at someone doing the job.

Denise Lee

The EU Observation Mission regrets (that the election process) did not live up to international standards and to the aspirations of Ethiopians for democracy.

Ana Gomes

By mid-afternoon, all but one of the students had been sent home from the hospital. One student is being kept for observation, just as a precaution.

Betti Cadmus

We just couldn't stop them. And we didn't stop them. That's my only observation.

Bob Schneider

They're just keeping her tonight for routine observation. We expect her to be released tomorrow morning.

Mark Wasik

It was quite surprising to me and my team to make this observation.

Thomas Breuer

My observation is that when there's too much choice out there, people tend not to buy.

Lisa Pierce

Two more people have been kept under observation in the isolation ward as they have complained of cough and cold.

Tp Doke

The couple that dies close to one another from love does seem to work on a story level. But under dry, clinical observation it doesn't work.

Deborah Carr

They use just observation, no scientific means at all. They just look to see if he might be one or not.

Sheryl White

They substantially improved the time resolution of the observation of sprite events.

Victor Pasko

The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.

Alice Munro

We can never use humans to directly test out the theories. We can only make inferences based on natural observation.

Ralph Catalano

There's a deck on the back of the nature center, and a trail that loops all the way around the pond. There's also the marsh observation deck.

Sarah Hendricks

I think that's a good observation.

Andy Nelson

The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.

George Bernard Shaw

Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science.

Claude Bernard

If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.
