Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge.

Claude Bernard

True science teaches us to doubt and, in ignorance, to refrain.
CLAUDE BERNARD

The better educated we are and the more acquired information we have, the better prepared shall we find our minds for making great and fruitful discoveries.
CLAUDE BERNARD

Better Discover Education Information Mindset

The science of life is a superb and dazzlingly lighted hall which may be reached only by passing through a long and ghastly kitchen.
