Science, Unlike Theology, Never Leads To Insanity.

I Have Seen Myself Lose Intolerance, Narrowness, Bigotry, Complacence, Pride And A Whole Bushel-basket Of Other Intellectual Vices Through My Contact With Nature And With Men. And When You Take Weeds Out Of A Garden It Gives You Room To Grow Flowers. So, Every Time I Lost A Little Self-satisfaction, Or Arrogance, I Could Plant Some Broadness Or Love Of My Own In Its Place, And After A While The Garden Of My Mind Began To Bloom And Be Fragrant And I Found Myself Better Equipped For My Work And More Useful To Others As A Consequence.

If We Had Paid No More Attention To Our Plants Than We Have To Our Children, We Would Now Be Living In A Jungle Of Weed.

All Scientists Have Found That Preconceived Notions, Dogmas, And All Personal Prejudice And Bias, Must Be Set Aside, Listening Patiently, Quietly And Reverently To The Lessons, One By One, Which Mother Nature Has To Teach, Shedding Light On That Which Was Before A Mystery, So That All Who Will May See And Know. She Conveys Her Truths Only To Those Who Are Passive And Receptive.

The Secret Of Improved Plant Breeding, Apart From Scientific Knowledge, Is Love. While I Was Conducting Experiments To Make Spineless Cacti, I Often Talked To The Plants. . . . "you Have Nothing To Fear," I Would Tell Them. "you Don't Need Your Defensive Thorns. I Will Protect You." Gradually The Useful Plant Of The Desert Emerged In A Thornless Variety.

Science, Unlike Theology, Never Leads To Insanity.
