A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.

There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.

In that memorable year, 1822: Oersted, a Danish physicist, held in his hands a piece of copper wire, joined by its extremities to the two poles of a Volta pile. On his table was a magnetized needle on its pivot, and he suddenly saw (by chance you will say, but chance only favours the mind which is prepared) the needle move and take up a position quite different from the one assigned to it by terrestrial magnetism. A wire carrying an electric current deviates a magnetized needle from its position. That, gentlemen, was the birth of the modern telegraph.

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.

When one works and imagines and dreams of nothing else than the search for answers that God has posed, it is difficult to be so still.

Question your priorities often, make sure God always comes first.

The Greeks bequeathed to us one of the most beautiful words in our language--the word 'enthusiasm'--en theos--a god within. The grandeur of human actions is measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a god within, and who obeys it.
