Question Your Priorities Often, Make Sure God

When You Believe You Have Found An Important Scientific Fact, And Are Feverishly Curious To Publish It, Constrain Yourself For Days, Weeks, Years Sometimes, Fight Yourself, Try And Ruin Your Own Experiments, And Only Proclaim Your Discovery After Having Exhausted All Contrary Hypotheses. But When, After So Many Efforts You Have At Last Arrived At A Certainty, Your Joy Is One Of The Greatest Which Can Be Felt By A Human Soul.

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.

Blessed Is He Who Carries Within Himself A God, An Ideal, And Who Obeys It: Ideal Of Art, Ideal Of Science, Ideal Of The Gospel Virtues, Therein Lie The Springs Of Great Thoughts And Great Actions; They All Reflect Light From The Infinite.

In The Fields Of Observation Chance Favors Only Those Minds Which Are Prepared.
