In reading the scriptures of truth, we often put wrong constructions upon them, and apply them improperly; and I apprehend it has often been the case in relation to this portion, particularly that part in relation to man's seeking out many inventions.
Elias Hicks
Judges must beware of hard constructions and strained inferences, for there is no worse torture than that of laws.
Francis Bacon
The Geometer has the special privilege to carry out, by abstraction, all constructions by means of the intellect. Who, then, would wish to prevent me from freely considering figures hanging on a balance imagined to be at an infinite distance beyond the confines of the world?
Evangelista Torricelli
The text is a limited field of possible constructions.
Paul Ricoeur
To be radical, an empiricism must neither admit into its constructions any element that is not directly experienced, nor exclude from them any element that is directly experienced.
William James
To the biographer all lives bar none are dramatic constructions.
Katharine Anthony
