Three favorite quotations

Three favorite quotations from Watt Webb:

Tentanda via est: To experiment is the true way.

Virgil, Georgica

Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.

Henri Poincaré

There is a hierarchy of facts. Some are without any positive bearing and teach us nothing but themselves….There are, on the other hand, facts that give a large return, each of which teaches us a new law.

Henri Poincaré
