"The universe operates by laws that are accessible to human reason and investigation."

"To see what everyone else has seen but think what no one has thought is genius."

"The practice of science teaches humility more effectively than any philosophy."

"Nature does not conceal her mysteries to punish us, but to challenge our ingenuity."

"The laboratory is a confession booth where nature reveals her secrets to the penitent."

"Progress in science depends more on changing your questions than finding your answers."

"In nature, there is no such thing as a small fact or an insignificant observation."

"The man who never doubts his own conclusions is a danger to the pursuit of truth."

"In the hands of a true scientist, even failure becomes an instrument of discovery."

"Nature's logic is more reliable than human opinion, however ancient or widely held."

"The pursuit of precision in measurement is the pursuit of truth itself."

"Every genuine scientific advance requires the courage to revise fundamental assumptions."

"The mind that is closed to new evidence is closed to the very essence of science."

"In observing nature, we must see with the eyes of a child and think with the mind of a philosopher."

"The laboratory teaches what no school can: the discipline of attention to reality."

"To accept a conclusion without evidence is to abandon the path of science."

"The beauty of a scientific truth lies not in its complexity but in its inevitability."
