New things are always ugly.

What one man can invent another can discover.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

The unknown is the largest need of the intellect.

A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.

How gloriously legible are the constellations of the heavens!

The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.

Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. 

There are truths that prove their discoverers witless.
