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

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.

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

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

Nothing in this world is to be feared... only understood.

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

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.

I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.

Each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity.

We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.

The older one gets, the more one feels that the present must be enjoyed; it is a precious gift, comparable to a state of grace

The past was "built", the present is "assembled" & the future - "programmed"!

Being broken open by the storm is your only hope.

He that would govern others first should be master of himself.

Somedays the line I walk turns out to be straight - Other days the line tends to deviate.

I couldn't unpeach the peaches.

Life on Earth will never be fair the way we expect it to be.

Before this moment I'd lived as a mind. Body, heart, soul, intellect, so we care ourselves into parts. But the whole of us, what can it be?

Favorite animal: steak.

I only have the restaurant. If I do other things, it's only to do with the restaurant.

I detest heavy perfume and shrill voices.
