Education Is What Remains After One Has

The Problems Of Today Can Only Be Solved At A Higher Level Of Thinking Than That Which Created Them

The Scientist's Religious Feeling Takes The Form Of A Rapturous Amazement At The Harmony Of Natural Law, Which Reveals An Intelligence Of Such Superiority That, Compared With It, All The Systematic Thinking And Acting Of Human Beings Is Utterly Insignificant Reflection. This Feeling Is The Guiding Principle Of His Life And Work, In So Far As He Succeeds In Keeping Himself From The Shackles Of Selfish Desire. It Is Beyond Question Closely Akin To That Which Has Possessed The Religious Geniuses Of All Ages.

The Normal Objective Of My Thought Affords No Insight Into The Dark Places Of Human Will And Feeling.

The Scientific Theorist Is Not To Be Envied. For Nature, Or More Precisely Experiment, Is An Exorable And Not Very Friendly Judge Of His Work. It Never Says "yes" To A Theory. In The Most Favorable Cases It Says "maybe," And In The Great Majority Of Cases Simply "no." If An Experiment Agrees With A Theory It Means For The Latter "maybe," And If It Does Not Agree It Means "no." Probably Every Theory Will Some Day Experience Its "no" - Most Theories, Soon After Conception.

Conscious Man, To Be Sure, Has At All Times Been Keenly Aware That Life Is An Adventure, That Life Must, Forever, Be Wrested From Death.
