"The merchants have their Waste Book; there they record from day to day everything they buy and sell, one after the other, without any order. From there the entries go into the Journal where everything is recorded more systematically, and finally it goes to the Ledger at double entrance. This should be imitated by the scholars. First, a book in which I write everything the way I see it or as my thinking tells me to. Then this can be copied into another where subjects are separated and arranged in better order; and the Ledger could then contain the various subjects in their connection and, following from it, their proper discussion."
- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
