“I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.”

Faith. Trust. and Pixie Dust.

The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.

That’s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up.

If you act like an adult when you’re a kid you can afford to act like a kid the rest of your life.

Nothing is impossible.

If it can be dreamed, it can be done.

It’s silly to build a wall around your interests.

Many of the things that seem impossible now will become realities tomorrow.

I’m just corny enough to like to have a story hit me over the heart.

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates’ loot on treasure Island.

God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

I do not like to repeat successes I like to go on to other things.

You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.

Let your heart guide you, it whispers so listen closely.

The human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.

Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.

The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used, and thus in the case before us it cannot be immaterial what plants are subjected to experiment and in what manner such experiment is conducted.

You must be ready to give up even the most attractive ideas when experiment shows them to be wrong.

Again the message to experimentalists is: Be sensible but don’t be impressed too much by negative arguments. If at all possible, try it and see what turns up. Theorists almost always dislike this sort of approach.

The art of drawing conclusions from experiments and observations consists in evaluating probabilities and in estimating whether they are sufficiently great or numerous enough to constitute proofs. This kind of calculation is more complicated and more difficult than it is commonly thought to be.

Experiments upon vegetation give reason to believe that light combines with certain parts of vegetables, and that the green of their leaves, and the various colors of flowers, is chiefly owing to this combination.

There is very little real liberty in the world; even those who seem freest are often the most tightly bound. Law, custom, public opinion, fear or shame make slaves of us all, as you will find when you try your experiment.

I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
