Radium Is Not To Enrich Any One.

Each Of Us Must Work For His Own Improvement, And At The Same Time Share A General Responsibility For All Humanity.

Life Is Not Easy For Any Of Us. But What Of That? We Must Have Perseverance And Above All Confidence In Ourselves.

All My Life Through, The New Sights Of Nature Made Me Rejoice Like A Child.

I Was Taught That The Way Of Progress Was Neither Swift Nor Easy.

We Must Not Forget That When Radium Was Discovered No One Knew That It Would Prove Useful In Hospitals. The Work Was One Of Pure Science. And This Is A Proof That Scientific Work Must Not Be Considered From The Point Of View Of The Direct Usefulness Of It. It Must Be Done For Itself, For The Beauty Of Science, And Then There Is Always The Chance That A Scientific Discovery May Become Like The Radium A Benefit For Humanity.
