“To know how to wonder and question is the first step of the mind toward discovery.”

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

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

I am on the edge of mysteries and the veil is getting thinner and thinner.

Where are the real sources of human dignity, freedom and modern democracy, if not in the concept of infinity to which all men are equal?

Gentlemen, it is the microbes who will have the last word.

The Ancients understood the omnipotence of the underside of things.

Will opens the door to success, both brilliant and happy.

whatever your career may be, do not let yourselves become tainted by a deprecating and barren scepticism, do not let yourselves be discouraged by the sadness of certain hours which pass over nations.

The only thing that can bring joy is work.

Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive it.

I am utterly convinced that Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War, that nation will eventually unite not to destroy but to edify, and that the future will belong to those who have done the most for the sake of suffering humanity.

It is surmounting difficulties that make heroes.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

There is a time in every man’s life when he looks to his God, when he looks at his life, when he wonders how he will be remembered.

When I approach a child he inspires in me two sentiments tenderness for what he is and respect for what he may become.

Unravel and travel, forward you must go. Don’t look back and dwell on failures past. You don’t need a quote, a false idol or a flow. For one day you will discover, as above so below.

As so often happens, I discover that it would have been better to keep my mouth shut.

When my body dies one day or the next, I drift away from it, merge with the air, and with a divine timing I travel back into another human form and continue to discover the life I am.

Every birth has its significant lifetime miracles. We are supposed to forget all but we are also supposed to remember again. The veil of oblivion exists to make it more interesting to discover ourselves again.

The truth lies within us, we just have to discover it.

Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.

Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
