I Have Learned More From My Mistakes

Every Discovery Opens A New Field For Investigation Of Facts, Shows Us The Imperfection Of Our Theories. It Has Justly Been Said, That The Greater The Circle Of Light, The Greater The Boundary Of Darkness By Which It Is Surrounded.

Fortunately Science, Like That Nature To Which It Belongs, Is Neither Limited By Time Nor By Space. It Belongs To The World, And Is Of No Country And No Age. The More We Know, The More We Feel Our Ignorance; The More We Feel How Much Remains Unknown.

The Wealth And Prosperity Of The Country Are Only The Comeliness Of The Body, The Fullness Of The Flesh And Fat; But The Spirit Is Independent Of Them; It Requires Only Muscle, Bone And Nerve For The True Exercise Of Its Functions. We Cannot Lose Our Liberty, Because We Cannot Cease To Think.

Oh, Most Magnificent And Noble Nature! Have I Not Worshipped Thee With Such A Love As Never Mortal Man Before Displayed? Adored Thee In Thy Majesty Of Visible Creation, And Searched Into Thy Hidden And Mysterious Ways As Poet, As Philosopher, As Sage?

I Have Learned More From My Mistakes Than From My Successes.
