Analysis Quotes

Analysis kills spontaneity. The grain once ground into flour springs and germinates no more.

Henri Frederic Amiel

When you put your hand to the plow, you can't put it down until you get to the end of the row.

Alice Paul

An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful. But an open mind about the ultimate foundations either of Theoretical or of Practical Reason is idiocy. If a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut. He can say nothing to the purpose. Outside the Tao there is no ground for criticizing either the Tao or anything else.

C.S. Lewis

Get the habit of analysis- analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.

Frank Lloyd Wright

The habit of analysis, the ability to get under the surface of things and at the vital essentials, gives a man a tremendous advantage.

Anon., from The Handbook of Indu

The more important the subject and the closer it cuts to the bone of our hopes and needs, the more we are likely to err in establishing a framework for analysis.

Stephen Jay Gould

An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique andconsequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.

Henri Bergson

Central banks don't have divine wisdom. They try to do the best analysis they can and must be prepared to stand or fall by the quality of that analysis.

Mary Kay Ash

Internalization. This occurs when you've exploited impact, when you've molded the standard material to your needs and made it yours, when you've made your new skills strong through hard use. All of a sudden these new concepts stopped churning within you, and a new reality is born: You and the concepts are one. They have literally become you. You have become them.

Tom Hopkins

Familiar things happen, and mankind does not bother about them. It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.

Alfred North Whitehead, Science
