Luck Favors The Mind That

I Am On The Edge Of Mysteries And The Veil Is Getting Thinner And Thinner.

Preconceived Ideas Are Like Searchlights Which Illumine The Path Of The Experimenter And Serve Him As A Guide To Interrogate Nature. They Become A Danger Only If He Transforms Them Into Fixed Ideas-this Is Why I Should Like To See These Profound Words Inscribed On The Threshold Of All The Temples Of Science: 'the Greatest Derangement Of The Mind Is To Believe In Something Because One Wishes It To Be So.'

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.

Oh My Goodness The Mystery That Has Prompted My Objective. My Quality Lies Exclusively In My Tirelessness.

Where Observation Is Concerned, Chance Favors Only The Prepared Mind.
