“It’s always good to marry your best friend.”

It was like a new world opened to me, the world of science, which I was at last permitted to know in all liberty.

A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales.

You will find that one special love that you know is right but for some reason just doesn’t last.

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

In science, we must be interested in things, not in persons.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals.

Life is not easy for any for us.

I am among those who think that science has great beauty.

It is my earnest desire that some of you should carry on this scientific work and keep for your ambition the determination to make a permanent contribution to science.

All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child.

More and more, I feel the need for a house and a garden.

All that I saw and learned was a new delight to me.

Radium is not to enrich any one. It is an element; it is for all people.

The older one gets, the more one feels that the present moment must be enjoyed, comparable to a state of grace.

I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.

We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

He is his own best friend and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude.

The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.

Be the best friend you can be.

No one is completely unhappy at the failure of his best friend.

A friend tells you what you want to hear; a best friend tells you the truth.

No one can take the place of a friend, no one.
