Fortune Favors The Well-prepared.

There Are Two Men In Each One Of Us: The Scientist, He Who Starts With A Clear Field And Desires To Rise To The Knowledge Of Nature Through Observations, Experimentation And Reasoning, And The Man Of Sentiment, The Man Of Belief, The Man Who Mourns His Dead Children, And Who Cannot, Alas, Prove That He Will See Them Again, But Who Believes That He Will, And Lives In The Hope – The Man Who Will Not Die Like A Vibrio, But Who Feels That The Force That Is Within Him Cannot Die.

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.

... By Chance You Will Say, But Chance Only Favors The Mind Which Is Prepared.

Whatever Your Career May Be, Do Not Let Yourselves Become Tainted By A Deprecating And Barren Scepticism.

The Greatest Derangement Of The Mind Is To Believe In Something Because One Wishes It To Be So.
