Quote by William Herschel

"The sciences have been greatly benefited by practical mechanics, and this without doubt the case will ever remain."

"Astronomy is not less important for the knowledge of the world than geography."

"We observe a star, and from the light that reaches us we must infer all its properties."

"The great object of my life has been to observe as many celestial phenomena as possible."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
