Science Advances Funeral By Funeral

The Worth Of A New Idea Is Invariably Determined, Not By The Degree Of Its Intuitiveness-which Incidentally, Is To A Major Extent A Matter Of Experience And Habit-but By The Scope And Accuracy Of The Individual Laws To The Discovery Of Which It Eventually Leads.

Science Does Not Mean An Idle Resting Upon A Body Of Certain Knowledge; It Means Unresting Endeavor And Continually Progressing Development Toward An End Which The Poetic Intuition May Apprehend, But Which The Intellect Can Never Fully Grasp.

The Whole Strenuous Intellectual Work Of An Industrious Research Worker Would Appear, After All, In Vain And Hopeless, If He Were Not Occasionally Through Some Striking Facts To Find That He Had, At The End Of All His Criss-cross Journeys, At Last Accomplished At Least One Step Which Was Conclusively Nearer The Truth.

The Scientist Needs An Artistically Creative Imagination.

Scientific Work Will Never Stop, And It Would Be Terrible If It Did. If There Were No More Problems, You Would Put Your Hands In Your Pockets And Your Head On A Pillow And Would Work No More. In Science Rest Is Stagnation, Rest Is Death.
