It Is Never Possible To Predict A

The Assumption Of An Absolute Determinism Is The Essential Foundation Of Every Scientific Enquiry.

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.

What Led Me To My Science And What Fascinated Me From A Young Age Was The, By No Means Self-evident, Fact That Our Laws Of Thought Agree With The Regularities Found In The Succession Of Impressions We Receive From The External World, That It Is Thus Possible For The Human Being To Gain Enlightenment Regarding These Regularities By Means Of Pure Thought

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.
