Fortune Favors The Well-prepared.

Worship The Spirit Of Criticism.

Science Proceeds By Successive Answers To Questions More And More Subtle, Coming Nearer And Nearer To The Very Essence Of Phenomena.

Great Problems Are Now Being Handled, Keeping Every Thinking Man In Suspense; The Unity Or Multiplicity Of Human Races; The Creation Of Man 1,000 Years Or 1,000 Centuries Ago; The Fixity Of Species, Or The Slow And Progressive Transformation Of One Species Into Another; The Eternity Of Matter; The Idea Of A God Unnecessary: Such Are Some Of The Questions That Humanity Discusses Nowadays.

My Opinion - Nay More, My Conviction - Is That, In The Present State Of Science, As You Rightly Say, Spontaneous Generation Is A Chimera; And It Would Be Impossible For You To Contradict Me, For My Experiments All Stand Forth To Prove That Spontaneous Generation Is A Chimera.

In The Realm Of Scientific Observation, Luck Is Granted Only To Those Who Are Prepared.
