The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through and reads the heart and the soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn't indicate or promise, and which the other kind couldn't detect.Impression is, after all, largely an illusion. What is real lies in our minds and in our hearts. And this reality we can make beautiful or ugly according to the attitude we take toward the rest of the world. Haven't you ever noticed how some things seen at a certain angle seem hideous, and how the same things seen at another angle seem beautiful?Most people think of "seeing" and "observing" directly with their senses. But for physicists, these words refer to much more indirect measurements involving a train of theoretical logic by which we can interpret what is "seen."The fellow that can only see a week ahead is always the popular fellow, for he is looking with the crowd. But the one that can see years ahead, he has a telescope but he can't make anybody believe that he has it.The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.Sometimes not seeing things can be a blessing.None is so blind as he who sees too much.One has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter one's perception of it; more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them.The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.Men are born with two eyes, but with one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.Do not look too far for you will see nothing
