Insight Must Precede Application.

The Pioneer Scientist Must Have "a Vivid Intuitive Imagination, For New Ideas Are Not Generated By Deduction, But By 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.

New Scientific Ideas Never Spring From A Communal Body, However Organized, But Rather From The Head Of An Individually Inspired Researcher Who Struggles With His Problems In Lonely Thought And Unites All His Thought On One Single Point Which Is His Whole World For The Moment.

Scientific Discovery And Scientific Knowledge Have Been Achieved Only By Those Who Have Gone In Pursuit Of It Without Any Practical Purpose Whatsoever In View.

Science Progresses Not By Convincing The Adherents Of Old Theories That They Are Wrong, But By Allowing Enough Time To Pass So That A New Generation Can Arise Unencumbered By The Old Errors.
