"All men by nature desire knowledge."
"All we know is still infinitely less than all that remains unknown."
"Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error."
"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life."
"Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world."
"The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals."
"Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly."
