Theobald Smith Quotes

Research cannot be forced very much. There is always danger of too much foliage and too little fruit.

Discovery should come as an adventure rather than as the result of a logical process of thought.

No research will answer all queries that the future may raise. It is wiser to praise the work for what it has accomplished and then to formulate the problems still to be solved.

In general, a fact is worth more than theories in the long run. The theory stimulates, but the fact builds. The former in due time is replaced by one better but the fact remains and becomes fertile.

Research has deserted the individual and entered the group. The individual worker find the problem too large, not too difficult. He must learn to work with others.
