Mind, brain, and body make the man, and the man is capable of so much!

The brain is the organ of destiny. It holds within its humming mechanism secrets that will determine the future of the human race.

Brain surgery is a terrible profession. If I did not feel it will become different in my lifetime, I should hate it.

The gallery in which the reporters sit has become a fourth estate of the realm.
