Experiment is the only means of knowledge at our disposal. Everything else is poetry, imagination.

An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature, and a measurement is the recording of Nature’s answer.

Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it.

It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.

First, a man of sense would have known that a single experiment is not sufficient to establish a general rule even in sciences much less complicated than the science of government; that, since the beginning of the world, no two political experiments were ever made of which all the conditions were exactly alike; and that the only way to learn civil prudence from history is to examine and compare an immense number of cases.

Growing up in downtown New York City in the ’80s, we were ensconced in art and progressive thinking,Our parents all experimented with raising us in a fairly loose, unorthodox way. A huge emphasis was placed on creativity, and our artistic efforts were never dismissed as childish. There was a sense that we – kids and grown-ups – all had the potential to make something of value. Our drawings were not simply destined for the refrigerator. We never felt patronized.

It is up to the directors to take risks in telling a story and if they want to experiment, they should work with the right kind of people

Singing is a limitless form of expression, and I love to experiment with my work.

Honestly, I’m willing to experiment with far more variety in roles than I’m given. But ultimately, it’s the producer’s decision. But, I’ve done a variety of roles – the evil don, the evil husband… I’ve done villainous roles, supporting roles, etc.

I think I have allowed my voice to experiment with the different genres. And I think that I have just really enjoyed the journey of getting to know my voice and seeing what it’s capable of, what it’s not capable of.

To invent you have to experiment, and if you know in advance that it’s going to work, it’s not an experiment.

If you’re not stubborn, you’ll give up on experiments too soon.

Biologically the species is the accumulation of the experiments of all its successful individuals since the beginning.

If we can possibly avoid wrecking this little planet of ours, we will, But—there must be risks! There must be. In experimental work there always are!

Not everything of value in life comes from books- experience the world.

Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won’t work

I didn’t fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps

There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man’s face and another behind his back.

Encore’ was an experiment. ‘Encore’ was the second chance at a first impression. ‘Encore’ was not completely planned.

There are theoretical physicists who imagine, deduce, and guess at new laws, but do not experiment; and then there are experimental physicists who experiment, imagine, deduce, and guess.

If science is to progress, what we need is the ability to experiment, honesty in reporting results – the results must be reported without somebody saying what they would like the results to have been – and finally – an important thing – the intelligence to interpret the results.

It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.

Observation, reason, and experiment make up what we call the scientific method.

If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong.

The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific truth.

Experiment is the sole judge of the validity of any idea.

Once you have an established song, you can really come out of your shell and experiment with the sound you want to make.

Once you have an established song, you can really come out of your shell and experiment with the sound you want to make.

Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

I’m not a formulaic chef. It’s important to experiment and take risks.

Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less.

Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.

There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes.

I will not propose to you that my way is best. The decision is up to you. If you find some point which may be suitable to you, then you can carry out experiments for yourself. If you find that it is of no use, then you can discard it.

In recent weeks we learned that scientists have created human embryos in test tubes solely to experiment on them. This is deeply troubling, and a warning sign that should prompt all of us to think through these issues very carefully.

Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. Are they innate in the mind? No. They come from social practice, and from it alone; they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment.

Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that’s kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing.

My Design in this Book is not to explain the Properties of Light by Hypotheses, but to propose and prove them by Reason and Experiments: In order to which, I shall premise the following Definitions and Axioms.

The best and safest method of philosophizing seems to be, first to enquire diligently into the properties of things, and to establish these properties by experiment, and then to proceed more slowly to hypothesis for the explanation of them. For hypotheses should be employed only in explaining the properties of things, but not assumed in determining them, unless so far as they may furnish experiments.

The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.

It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.

I’ll never stick to one sound, I switch it up.

Experience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you

Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.

The Bible is really not a religious book but a divine manual written by the manufacturer of humanity by which the product man is supposed to live. If we learn those principles and obey them, then we find that the process of failure to success becomes more inevitability than experiment.

He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.

I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.

I like taking risks. I like trying new things, whether it be style or restaurants or whatever.
