I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for ones self.

I wanted to know the name of every stone and flower and insect and bird and beast. I wanted to know where it got its color, where it got its life - but there was no one to tell me.

Let us rejoice at the many unexplored fields in which there is unlimited fame and fortune to the successful explorer . . .

Look about you. Take hold of the things that are here. Let them talk to you. You learn to talk to them.

A life that stood out as a gospel of self-forgetting service. He could have added fortune to fame but caring for neither he found happiness and honor in being helpful to the world. The centre of his world was the south where he was born in slavery some 79 years ago and where he did his work as a creative scientist.

He who puts a product upon the market as it demands, controls that market, regardless of color. It is simply a survival of the fittest.

If you listen carefully enough to anything, it will talk to you.
