Vice Principal

Famous quotes containing the words vice and/or principal:

“I prefer a pleasant vice to an annoying virtue.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

“There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
