“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”

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.

First principle: never to let one’s self be beaten down by persons or by events.

Stability can only be attained by inactive matter.

My husband and I were so closely united by our affection and our common work that we passed nearly all of our time together.

You must never be fearful of what you are doing when it is right.

I have frequently been questioned, especially by women, of how I could reconcile family life with a scientific career. Well, it has not been easy.

Science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.

If I see anything vital around me, it is precisely that spirit of adventure, which seems indestructible and is akin to curiosity.

There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.

Scientist believe in things, not in person.

I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

Don’t get older; get better: Live realistically. Give generously. Adapt willingly. Trust fearlessly. Rejoice daily.

We must dissent from the fear.

The slavery of fear had made men afraid to think.

Once you become fearless, life becomes limitless.

Let’s jump in the rabbit hole, ditch our fears, and watch, like magic, how strength appears.

I don’t want to wake up and be bored. That’s probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I’ve been on for a long time and had success with? I don’t plan on giving it up any time soon.

Don’t let fatigue make a coward of you.
