“Stability can only be attained by inactive matter.”

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.

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.

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.

Philosophy is not in a state of external reflection on other domains, but in a state of active and internal alliance with them, and it is neither more abstract nor more difficult.

None so little enjoy themselves, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do. Only the active have the true relish of life.

I’m definitely an active champion. I’m looking forward to defending my belt as many times as possible.

Cardio is a nice way to start the morning, man. Whether you sit on the bike for half an hour or throw on two jumpers and just sweat, it’s good to get up, get the body active, put on your headphones, and just pedal away.

Sometimes, we have to promote ourselves. Just go out and be very active about trying to find an opportunity.

Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God.

I have to actively put effort into reminding myself of how far I’ve come so I do not only pay attention to how far I have yet to go.

Love is not a passive state. It is an active force. It is the force of the soul.
