I Consider Nature A Vast Chemical Laboratory

Vegetation Is The Basic Instrument The Creator Uses To Set All Of Nature In Motion.

In Performing Experiments, It Is Necessary... That They Be Simplified As Much As Possible, And That Every Circumstance That Could Complicate The Results Should Be Completely Removed.

It Is Not Only By The Pores Of The Skin That This Aqueous Emaciation Takes Place. A Considerable Quantity Of Humidity Is Also Exhaled By The Lungs At Each Expiration.

It Is Impossible To Disassociate Language From Science...to Call Forth A Concept, A Word Is Needed.

I Have Had A Fairly Long Life, Above All A Very Happy One, And I Think That I Shall Be Remembered With Some Regrets And Perhaps Leave Some Reputation Behind Me. What More Could I Ask? The Events In Which I Am Involved Will Probably Save Me From The Troubles Of Old Age. I Shall Die In Full Possession Of My Faculties, And That Is Another Advantage That I Should Count Among Those That I Have Enjoyed. If I Have Any Distressing Thoughts, It Is Of Not Having Done More For My Family; To Be Unable To Give Either To Them Or To You Any Token Of My Affection And My Gratitude Is To Be Poor Indeed.
