Time, which alone can establish a man’s reputation, has at last made those defects respectable.[Le temps, qui fait seul la réputation des hommes, rend à la fin leurs défauts respectables.]
The easiest way to get a reputation is to go outside the fold, shout around for a few years as a violent atheist or a dangerous radical, and then crawl back to the shelter.
Let theory guide your observations, but till your reputation is well established be sparing in publishing theory. It makes persons doubt your observations.
