Man Can Only Know from Observing Nature
Man, being the servant and interpreter of Nature, can do and understand so much and so much only as he has observed in fact or in thought of the course of nature. Beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything.
Notes:
We come from nature, are subservient to it, and can only understand our world by observing it.
