Men wrongly lament the flight of time, blaming it for being too swift; they do not perceive that its passage is sufficiently long, but a good memory, which nature has given to us, causes things long past to seem present.
The knowledge of the past times and of the places of the earth is both an ornament and nutriment to the human mind.
All our knowledge hast its origins in our perceptions … In nature there is no effect without a cause … Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments … Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past; prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass.
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past; prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.
A good memory, which nature has endowed us with, causes things long past to seem present.
