All observers not laboring under hallucinations of the senses are agreed, or can be made to agree, about facts of sensible experience, through evidence toward which the intellect is merely passive, and over which the individual will and character have no control.
Chauncey Wright
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
Francois Fenelon
I think writers, by nature, are more observers instead of participators.
Ian Hunter
I was sent there by the Free Congress Committee, headed by Paul Weyrich. Fred Smith and I were sent down as observers, with reporters' credentials, so we could witness the events.
Dixie Lee Ray
I will not say the fact that there are no European Union observers at an election means that it will not be fair and free.
Olusegun Obasanjo
If I am at a party, I want to be at the party. Too many photographers use the camera to avoid participating in things. They become professional observers.
Robert Mapplethorpe
If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.
Nelson Mandela
Once again we have misleading climate change pronouncements being based on data errors, data errors detected by non-UN, non-IPCC, non-peer-reviewed external observers. This is exactly what happens when you base your arguments on 'consensus science' and not scientific fact.
Doug Hoffman
One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active; not passive observers.
James Humes
Savvy observers occasionally note television's resemblance to the weather: Everybody loves to complain about it, but nobody can do anything to fix it.
Michael Medved
To make democracy work, we must be a notion of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain.
Louis L'Amour
Vote counting and ballot collecting does not occur in the light of day. There are too many occasions when observers and opposing parties lose contact with the ballots.
Bob Schaffer
We are by nature observers, and thereby learners. That is our permanent state.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We cannot create observers by saying 'observe,' but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.
Maria Montessori
We learned to be patient observers like the owl. We learned cleverness from the crow, and courage from the jay, who will attack an owl ten times its size to drive it off its territory. But above all of them ranked the chickadee because of its indomitable spirit.
Tom Brown, Jr.
We will be sending our own observers in to monitor the electoral process.
Alan Garcia Perez
Well, I'm not sure, but of one thing I am certain: History judges one differently than contemporary observers, and so I think that as time passes, I hope that not me personally so much, but our administration will be seen for some of the things that we accomplished.
David Dinkins
Who will observe the observers?
Arthur Eddington
