The two operations of our understanding, intuition and deduction, on which alone we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.

You should carefully study the Art of Reasoning, as it is what most people are very deficient in, and I know few things more disagreeable than to argue, or even converse with a man who has no idea of inductive and deductive philosophy.

To learn means by practice, by inquiring, by analyzing to find out what is, not what was.

The deductive reasons for a course of action usually follow rather than precede the course of action. Thought follows life.

Teaching to unsuspecting youngsters the effective use of formal methods is one of the joys of life because it is so extremely rewarding.

I'm not a great deductive thinker, but I will admit to having competence in a very wide range of things - not being afraid to try to write about baseball, choral music and dinosaurs in the same week and see connections among them.

I have no idea what 'method actor' means.

The true method of knowledge is experiment.

First figure out why you want the students to learn the subject and what you want them to know, and the method will result more or less by common sense.
