Lack of experience diminishes our power of taking a comprehensive view of the admitted facts. Hence those who dwell in intimate association with nature and its phenomena grow more and more able to formulate, as the foundations of their theories, principles such as to admit of a wide and coherent development: while those rendered unobservant of the facts by their devotion to abstract discussions are too ready to dogmatize on the basis of a few observations.'On Generation and Corruption'
Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC)
