No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.

We hunger for nobility: the rare words and acts that harmonize simplicity and truth.

Truth, not a pet, is man's best friend.

Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search.
