Quotations for comparing

In comparing men and books, one must always remember this important distinction, that one can put the books down at any time. [ N. P. Willis ]

Those who are conversant with books well know how often they mislead us when we have not a living monitor at hand to assist us in comparing practice with theory. [ Junius ]

Natural knowledge is come at by the continuance and progress of learning and of liberty, and by particular persons attending to, comparing, and pursuing intimations scattered up and down it, which are overlooked and disregarded by the generality of the world. [ Bishop Butler ]

To behold, is not necessary to observe, and the power of comparing and combining is only to be obtained by education. It is much to be regretted that habits of exact observation are not cultivated in our schools; to this deficiency may be traced much of the fallacious reasoning, the false philosophy which prevails. [ Humboldt ]
