Quotes from Russian writers about man and society. New modern aphorisms. What makes you wonder

This is a very voluminous and rather complex system, the basis for which is the collective activity of people. She was, is and will remain a subject for reasoning and research. And its specificity lies precisely in the fact that an infinite number of people participate in this system, each of whom is a Personality. Accordingly, society is constantly changing. That is why they will talk about him forever. And this, by the way, influenced the statements of great people about the public order.

Philosophy references

Great thinkers did not confine themselves to simple statements. No, they developed whole theories. Speaking about the interesting statements of great people about social order, I would like to pay attention to the thoughts of the notorious Plato and Aristotle. The first of them argued that society consists of three layers: these are philosophers, warriors and hard workers. And that there is a world of ideas and matter. Those people who are endowed with a talent for thinking, and should rule the state. Plato saw the social order as a pyramid that was supported by philosophers and thinkers.

Aristotle's own statement: "The goal of the state is the happiness of people. And politics is the science that allows you to understand how to achieve happiness in society." But, at the same time, the philosopher said that the ideal form of government as such does not exist. But there is a cycle of forms of government. This is how the thinker's words sounded: "The best form of government is one in which the laws are observed and the government is fair."

What makes you wonder

Many of the great people’s sayings about social order do lead to certain thoughts. Belinsky argued that a person is the son of his country, a citizen of the fatherland, and he should warmly take all his interests to heart. And Cicero said that public order is a prescription, following which we must manage our actions and, of course, life, no matter what circumstances develop. Another interesting phrase belongs to the great Russian writer - Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. The famous thinker said that a person from all existing sciences must know how to live in order to do as much good as possible for society.

In fact, such statements of great people about public order make you think, rethink something. The most interesting thing is that when studying such quotes, said hundreds of years ago, a truth is revealed, which is still relevant today. From this we can conclude that society, it turns out, is not changing so much.

What bothered the greats

It is unlikely that famous scientists, thinkers and literary figures would talk about public order and everything that is connected with it, if this topic did not excite them. To be more precise - if she had not touched them. Probably, many quotes about social order appeared - great people tried to explain to themselves how to cope with everything that happened. L. Tolstoy said that man is unthinkable outside of society. This phrase has long been a catch phrase. And, be that as it may, Lev Nikolaevich was right. In the same way as Belinsky, saying that although man was created by nature, society develops him all the same.

Everything ingenious is simple

Many sayings about public order are incredibly simple, but they still have a hidden truth. Someone unknown said that no woman is as fickle and windy as the opinion of society. And this is really so - we can observe confirmation of these words every day. The next phrase, which belongs to Blaise Pascal, a French writer, can be considered a continuation of the previous quote: "Public opinion rules people." It is worth considering - is it necessary to obey something windy and fickle, moreover, if it has absolutely no meaning? Many people deceive themselves that it is important to them what other people think of them. But, in fact, it doesn't matter. After all, as André Maurois said, public opinion is just wandering lights in our lives, not a beacon.

In a civilized society, it is customary to respect the scientific world, as evidenced by individual aphorisms and quotes about science. However, after a while, the situation may change dramatically.
For example, previously popular sciences are declared pseudosciences, and their adherents are subject to universal ridicule and contempt.
On the other hand, ordinary people work in science, who fall into instructive stories and become an example for others. Aphorisms and quotes about science from different authors also help to learn about this.

“Science can live easily and freely only where it is surrounded by the full sympathy of society. Science can count on this sympathy if society is sufficiently close to it "

"... Scientific activity ... the only thing that survives you and that for hundreds and thousands of years cuts into the history of mankind"
Abram Fedorovich Ioffe

"... Research into the structure of the world is one of the greatest and noblest problems that exist in nature ..."
Galileo Galilei

"By method, I mean precise and simple rules, strict adherence to which always prevents the mistaken for true and, without wasting mental energy, but gradually and continuously increasing knowledge, contributes to the fact that the mind achieves true knowledge of everything that is available to it."
Rene Descartes

"To observe the purity of science is the first commandment of a scientist."
Nikolay Nikolaevich Semenov

“The cult of science in the highest sense of the word is perhaps even more necessary for the moral than for the material prosperity of the nation ... Science raises the intellectual and moral level; science contributes to the spread and triumph of great ideas "
Louis Pasteur

"Important research has been delayed by the lack of recognition in one area of ​​results that have long become classics in a related area."
Norbert Wiener

“I have not studied the laws of nature and have not made major scientific discoveries. I did not study them the way Newton, Kepler, Faraday, and Henry studied them in order to learn the truth. I am only a professional inventor. All my research and experiments were carried out solely with the aim of finding something of practical value "
Thomas Edison

“How amazing is our position in this world! We were born in it, we are brought up, we live and we take it all for granted. In fact, we are so little surprised that nothing ever surprises us. I think that in a young man the sight of a waterfall or a very high mountain excites more surprise than the question of his existence, how he was born. How he lives, how he stands upright and thanks to what he moves from place to place. Therefore, it turns out that we enter this world, live in it and leave it, without giving ourselves the trouble to think specifically about how everything happens. If it were not for the efforts of people with an inquiring mind, who delved into these issues and revealed the most important laws governing our existence on Earth, we would hardly have guessed that there is something amazing here. "
Michael Faraday

"Master the entire breadth of human knowledge, without becoming confined to one narrow specialty - this is the first thing I want to advise you ..."
Nikolay Dmitrievich Zelinsky

“A scientist knows no greater pleasure than working and being active. All other pleasures have only the meaning of rest for him "
Ludwig Feuerbach

"I really like the violation of Newton's basic law - the law of inertia of rest, its transformation into inertia of motion"
Nikolay Ivanovich Vavilov

“Nothing contributes to the overall development and formation of children's consciousness as familiarity with the history of human efforts in the field of science, reflected in the biographies of the great scientists of the past and in the gradual evolution of ideas. Only in this way can we ... instill in the younger generation the idea of ​​continuous development and the humanitarian value of science "
Paul Langevin

"In science, every new point of view entails a revolution in its technical terms."
Friedrich Engels

"Following the thoughts of a great man is the most entertaining science."
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin

“... Hardly anyone would dispute the beneficial influence of science on technology, but there may be idealistic scientists who will see science as degrading in the rapprochement of science with technology. For them, a scientist who unselfishly studies Babylonian inscriptions will appear more sublime than a naturalist who studies phylloxera. But I think that if we are talking about true servants of science, then both are guided by the same need to cognize the truth and reveal the secret. This holy flame will always burn in the human breast, always a person will ask questions expressed in the beautiful verses of the poet:
What is there, beyond the end,
What is there in the radiance of the golden stars? "
Nikolay Egorovich Zhukovsky

“Theoretical research is the study of phenomena in themselves, without their industrial application. But note that there is not a single scientific discovery that sooner or later would not receive practical application. "
Frederic Joliot-Curie

"All scientific work is 99 percent of failure, and maybe only one percent is luck ..."
Sergey Lvovich Sobolev

“What has been discovered by the sciences until now lies almost at the very surface of ordinary concepts. In order to penetrate deep into and into the distance of nature, it is necessary to distract both concepts and axioms from things in a more correct and careful way, and in general, a better and more reliable work of reason is needed. "
Francis Bacon

“Science is one and indivisible. You cannot worry about the development of some scientific disciplines and leave others unattended. One should not pay attention only to those whose application to life has become clear, and ignore those whose meaning is not realized and is not understood by humanity. "
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky

"Science is an attempt to bring the chaotic diversity of our sensory experience in line with some unified system of thinking."
Albert Einstein

"Scientific truths are always paradoxical if judged on the basis of everyday experience, which captures only the deceptive appearance of things."
Karl Marx

"Science is the eternal striving of mankind for truth, and truth is achieved only by a long path amid inevitable mistakes and delusions."

“I do not believe that the passion for risk and adventure can disappear in our world. If I see something viable about me, it’s just the spirit of adventure that seems ineradicable and manifests itself in curiosity. It seems to me that this is the primary instinct of humanity: I do not know how humanity could continue to exist if it did not have this passion, just as a person completely devoid of memory could not exist. Curiosity and spirit of adventure certainly do not disappear. "
Maria Sklodowska-Curie

“Great discoveries, leaps of scientific thought forward are created by intuition, a risky, truly creative method. New eras in science have always begun with changes introduced to ideas and postulates that previously served as the basis for deductive reasoning. "
Louis de Broglie

"To establish a theory from observations, to correct observations through theory is the best way of all to find the truth."
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov

“The main motive of my life is not to live my life for nothing, to move humanity forward a little bit. That is why I was interested in what gave me neither bread nor strength, but I hope that my works, maybe soon, and maybe in the distant future, will give mountains of bread and an abyss of power. "

"In scientific work, one cannot make confident predictions for the future, since obstacles always arise that can only be overcome with the emergence of new ideas."
Niels Bohr

“Everything lofty and beautiful in our life, nake and art is created by the mind with the help of fantasy, and much - by fantasy with the help of the mind. It can be safely asserted that neither Copernicus nor Newton, without the help of imagination, would not acquire the meaning in science that they use "
Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov

“... The educational value of science consists as much in the discovery itself as in the effort through which it is achieved; in the statement of laws, as in their history; in the perspective that their combination opens into reality, in their exact correspondence with facts and in the discipline that serves to establish them "
Paul Langevin

"... There is nothing more wonderful than the human brain, there is nothing more amazing than the process of thinking, nothing more precious than the results of scientific research ..."
Alexey Maksimovich Gorky

“The ideals that illuminated my path and gave me courage and courage were kindness, beauty and truth. Without a sense of solidarity with those who share my beliefs, without the persecution of the eternally elusive objective in art and science, life would seem to me absolutely empty "
Albert Einstein

"Science is only beneficial when we accept it not only with our mind, but also with our heart."
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

"... In the history of human thinking, the most fruitful were those directions where two different ways of thinking collided"
Werner Heisenberg

“We must strive to establish communication between representatives of mental and physical labor, to harmonious fusion of the tasks of science and life, to serve scientific truth and ethical truth”
Clement A. Timiryazev

“... Human science, essentially rational in its foundations and in its methods, can accomplish its most significant gains only through dangerous sudden leaps of the mind, when abilities are manifested, freed from the heavy shackles of old reasoning, which are called imagination, intuition, wit. Better to say, the scientist conducts a rational analysis and goes over the chain of his deductions link by link: this chain fetters him up to a certain moment; then he is instantly freed from it, and the newfound freedom of his imagination allows him to see new horizons "
Louis de Broglie

“Naturalists imagine that they are free from philosophy when they ignore or scold it. But since they cannot move a single step without thinking, logical categories are necessary for thinking ... then in the end they still end up subordinate to philosophy ... "
Friedrich Engels

“... Science moves in jerks, depending on the progress made by the methodology. With each step of the methodology forward, we seem to rise a step higher, from which a wider horizon opens up to us, with objects previously invisible ”
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov

“Happiness is given only to those who know. The more a person knows, the sharper, the stronger he sees the poetry of the earth where it will never be found by a person with meager knowledge "

“Disciples and followers constitute a powerful force and invaluable wealth of a scientist. A scientist without students, a lone scientist, is, from my point of view, a miserable and, I would say, ugly phenomenon, because the meaning of a scientist's life should be not only in the development of new theoretical values, but also in the creation of a worthy replacement capable of wider and deeper develop, improve the ideas of their teachers and consolidate them in practice "
Konstantin I. Scriabin

"I put one experience higher than a thousand opinions, born only by the imagination."
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov

“... The work of a scientist is the property of all mankind, and science is the area of ​​the greatest selflessness. Scientists should be valued precisely as the most productive and precious energy of the people, and therefore it is necessary for them to create conditions under which the growth of this energy would be facilitated in every possible way. "
Alexey Maksimovich Gorky

“Do not assert anything that you cannot prove simply and definitely ... Respect the critic! Criticism by itself can neither generate new ideas, nor stimulate great things. However, without her, everything is shaky. She has the last word "
Louis Pasteur

“To neglect the opportunity to use scientific data in public life is to belittle the importance of science. Science helps us in the fight against fanaticism in all its manifestations; it helps us to create our own ideal of justice, without borrowing anything from erroneous systems and barbaric traditions "
Anatole France

"I constantly keep in mind the subject of my research and patiently wait until the first glimpse gradually turns into a full and brilliant light."
Isaac Newton

"The problem is solved not by the one who is content with partial success, but by the scientist who achieves a full-fledged result."
Abram Fedorovich Ioffe

"There is no certainty in the sciences where none of the mathematical sciences cannot be applied, and in that which has no connection with mathematics."
Leonardo da Vinci

“A scientist should be especially captious about experience - the supreme judge of all scientific hypotheses and theories. He must comprehensively test the theory by experiments and carefully exclude all possible sources of errors when setting up an experiment, not discard or hide at least individual results that do not fit into his hypothesis. Moreover, if other scientists in different countries begin to check your results and suddenly contradicting your theory appear among the confirmed experiments, it is imperative to check their experience with all possible thoroughness and either show that your opponent made a mistake in the experiment, or make sure that he is right , and honestly admit that your theory is wrong or partially correct. It is necessary, without any tricks, to admit this directly and boldly, no matter how unbearably difficult it may be "
Nikolay Nikolaevich Semenov

"For people dedicated to scientific activity, there is nothing more pleasant than increasing the number of their discoveries, but the scientist is especially happy when the results obtained by him bring immediate practical benefits."
Louis Pasteur

“Thought, completely free and as such - left to itself, cannot produce anything, because the soul of science, that is, its laws, hypotheses and theories need a body, material content, so that the organism of science emerges. Some dead facts, like some free speculation, science does not yet constitute "
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

“... In science there are architects who conceive brilliant plans, and workers who carry out what turns out to be feasible. Each has its own business, but even the humblest figure has a sacred duty to point out and correct the mistake of a brilliant architect. "
Petr Petrovich Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky

“To give an accurate description of the observed natural phenomena, to snatch from the variety of details and trifles the main, characteristic features, to formulate in a sharp and concise form everything that the eye saw and the thought encompassed — this is such a complex and important task that all the difficulties of laboratory research pale in front of it. or theoretical analysis in the offices of scientists "
Alexander Evgenievich Fersman

“Poetry and science are identical, if science should be understood not only schemes of knowledge, but the consciousness of the thought hidden in them. Poetry and science are identical, as comprehended not by one of the abilities of our soul, but by the fullness of our spiritual being, expressed by the word "mind" "

"From living contemplation to abstract thinking and from it to practice - this is the dialectical way of cognition of truth, cognition of objective reality"
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

“From the first steps of my mental activity, I set myself two parallel tasks: to work for science and to write for the people, that is, popular "
Clement A. Timiryazev

"... We live in a time when the highest calling of man is not only to explain, but also to change the world - to make it better, more meaningful, more fully meeting the needs of life"
Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin

“What most people know today was the privilege of only a few scientists fifty years ago; and this process will continue to the end, since scientific knowledge is one of the moments of collective adaptation of thinking to facts "
Paul Langevin

“It is my sincere desire that my students treat me with criticism, my goal will be achieved when they make sure that I act consistently; Am I acting correctly? - that's another matter; only time and experience can show it "
Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov

"... Science moves forward in proportion to the mass of knowledge inherited by it from the previous generation, therefore, under the most ordinary conditions, it ... grows exponentially."
Friedrich Engels

"Science is the source of the highest good for mankind during periods of peaceful labor, but it is also the most formidable weapon of defense and attack during war."
Nikolay Dmitrievich Zelinsky

“Hard work is an integral quality of a scientist. It is necessary to develop in oneself endurance, patience when setting up any scientific experiment, since at the first stages of work, minor failures are inevitable, often associated with imperfect methods. An experiment sometimes requires multiple checks, which is usually associated with tremendous stress. "Without labor, there is no truly great" - said Goethe, - and he was absolutely right "
Konstantin I. Scriabin

"For the general benefit, and especially for the establishment of science in the Fatherland, and against my own father, I do not put up to rebel for sin"
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov

“I have never claimed to have a complete solution to the issue. First inevitably come: thought, fantasy, fairy tale. They are followed by scientific calculation. And in the end, execution crowns thought. My work on space travel belongs to the middle phase of my creative work. More than anyone else, I understand the abyss that separates the idea from its implementation, since during my life I not only thought and calculated, but also performed, working also with my hands. However, it is impossible not to be an idea: thought precedes execution, fantasy precedes accurate calculation. "
Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky

“When a person approaches the end of his life's journey, he sadly asks himself the question, is he destined to see those alluring horizons that lie ahead there? His consolation is that he is followed by the young, the strong, that old age and youth merge in continuous work to investigate the truth. "
Nikolay Egorovich Zhukovsky

“A person is now dealing with such problems that he is breathtaking and dizzy. However, until you feel a little dizzy, you will not be able to understand their essence. Problems are more important than solutions. Solutions may become outdated, but problems remain "
Niels Bohr

"Every science is applied logic"
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

“Scientists know how much science has brought to humanity; they also know what she could achieve now if peace reigned throughout the globe. They do not want such words to be ever uttered: "Science led us to death from atomic and hydrogen bombs." Scientists know science cannot be to blame. Only those people are to blame who make poor use of her achievements. "
Frederic Joliot-Curie

“Do not read in order to contradict and refute; not to be taken on faith; and not to find a subject for conversation; but to think and reason "
Francis Bacon

"Unlike other architects, science not only draws castles in the air, but also erects individual residential floors of a building before laying its foundation."
Karl Marx

“Erroneous theories are characterized by a complete inability to predict new facts. Every time this kind of fact appears, they are forced to build on a new hypothesis on top of the previous one ... Correct theories, on the contrary, are the expression of facts, are dictated by them and obey them; they foresee new facts with complete clarity, since these facts by their nature are organically linked with those already established. In short, the hallmark of correct theories is their fruitfulness. "
Louis Pasteur

"... It is likely that 95% of original scientific works belong to less than 5% of professional scientists, but most of them would not have been written at all if the other 95% of scientists did not contribute to the creation of a general sufficiently high level of science."
Norbert Wiener

"People who have enriched the people not only with facts, but also with general principles, people who have pushed forward scientific consciousness, that is, who contributed to the success of the thought of all mankind, should be placed - and usually become - higher than those who were exclusively engaged in the development of facts"
Alexander Mikhailovich Butlerov

"Truly new can be obtained only if you are ready, in a decisive place, to leave the foundations on which the old science rested, and jump, to a certain extent, into the void."
Werner Heisenberg

“In matters of natural science ... the knowledge of phenomena is what leads us to the search and finding of the cause. Without this, we will wander like a blind person and even with even less certainty, for we will not know what goal to set ourselves, and the blind, at least, knows where he wants to come. "
Galileo Galilei

“I am one of those who are convinced of the great beauty of science. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a specialist; he is also a child who faces natural phenomena that strike him like a fairy tale. We must be able to tell others about these feelings. We should not put up with the opinion that all scientific progress is reduced to mechanisms, machines, gear transmissions, although they are also beautiful in themselves. "
Maria Sklodowska-Curie

"If there can be no modern industry without science, then there can be no modern science without it"
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

"The proportion of science in the country is determined not only by the funds allocated under the state budget, the number of research institutes, but above all by the outlook of scientists, the height of their scientific flight"
Nikolay Ivanovich Vavilov

"Just as eating food without pleasure turns into boring eating, so doing science without passion clogs the memory, which becomes unable to assimilate what it absorbs."
Leonardo da Vinci

“Among all the arts, the art of observing is the most difficult: not only comprehensive knowledge is important here, but wide experience is also necessary, since when observing a phenomenon, it is not enough just to see it, it is necessary to dismember the phenomenon and to know in what relation the parts are to the whole "
Nikolay Dmitrievich Zelinsky

“In science, it is often not enough to solve a problem or a group of problems. After that, you need to take a closer look at these tasks and rethink what tasks you have solved. Often, when solving one problem, we automatically find the answer to another question, which we had not thought about before "
Norbert Wiener

“It is very easy to make amazing discoveries, but it is difficult to refine them to the point where they are of practical value. This is what I am doing. "
Thomas Edison

“... A true scientist should be not just an impartial, but the most biased critic of what is most dear to him - his creative work, to which he devoted many days and nights of work, joy, inspiration. He should be, as it were, his own enemy - this is both the tragedy and the greatness of the scientist. "
Nikolay Nikolaevich Semenov

"Only a mind capable of tracing the inextricable connection of seemingly incompatible phenomena can create genuine values."
Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky

"The talent of the experimenter is reflected in the ability to isolate the phenomenon under study in its purest form, freeing it from side influences"
Abram Fedorovich Ioffe

"Science is the highest mind of mankind, this is the sun, which man created from his flesh and blood, created and lit in front of him in order to illuminate the darkness of his difficult life, in order to find a way out of it to freedom, justice, beauty"
Alexey Maksimovich Gorky

“There are ... two types of minds: the first vividly and deeply penetrate into all the consequences arising from the principles, and this is the mind that reasoned correctly; others assimilate a large number of principles without mixing or confusing them, and these are geometrical minds. Some are characterized by strength and correctness of judgment, while others are broad-minded. Maybe one with the other, maybe one without the other, maybe the mind is strong and narrow or wide, but weak "
Blaise Pascal

"The true and legitimate goal of all sciences is to endow human life with new inventions and riches" "Truth is the daughter of time, not authority"
Francis Bacon

“Every scientific work, every discovery, every invention is a universal labor. It is conditioned partly by the cooperation of contemporaries, partly by using the labor of predecessors. "
Karl Marx

“One should look for ideas in science. No idea, no science. Knowledge of facts is precious only because facts hide ideas: facts without ideas are dirty linen for the head and memory "
Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky

“Experience first benefits science, then harms it, as it reveals both the law and the exception. The average between them does not at all give the true "
Johann Wolfgang Goethe

“Experiment should not be limited to simple passive observation. He must, whenever possible, actively intervene in reality, changing the conditions for the emergence of phenomena, questioning nature in a strictly defined way, so that he can see what her answer will be. "
Louis de Broglie

“Science at any time is the sum total of all that it has achieved by that time. But this result is not static. Science is more than a general set of known facts, laws and theories. Criticizing, often destroying as much as creating, science constantly discovers new facts, laws and theories. Nevertheless, the entire structure of science never stops developing. It, so to speak, is always under repair, but at the same time it is always used. "
John Bernal

"Philosophers have only explained the world in different ways, but the point is to change it."
Karl Marx

"Experimental work should be doubted until the facts force us to abandon all doubts."
Louis Pasteur

"If you take away from a person the ability to dream, then one of the most powerful incentives that give rise to culture, art, science and the desire to fight for a wonderful future disappears."
Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky

"... We put above all stubborn laboratory work, as a kind of work in general, full of poetic charm"
Nikolay Dmitrievich Zelinsky

"A person's dignity should be determined by his deeds, and not by what they say about him."
Thomas Edison

“At any moment, a certain general understanding of the subject is required, in order to have something to attach facts to, in order to have something to move forward with, in order to have something to suggest for future research. Such an assumption is a necessity in scientific work "
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov

"Only science teaches how to get the truth from its only primary source - from reality"
Clement A. Timiryazev

"Be able to work in a team ... To be able to work in a team is, first of all, to correctly perceive criticism and not be shy to criticize the mistakes of another ..."
Nikolay Dmitrievich Zelinsky

“... In any scientific field - both in the field of nature and in the field of history - we must proceed from the facts given to us ... we cannot construct connections and introduce them into facts, but we must extract them from the facts and, having found them, prove them as far as possible , empirically "
Friedrich Engels

“If I am engaged in any subject, I first make experiments, and then I draw conclusions and build proofs. This is the method to be followed when studying natural phenomena "
Leonardo da Vinci

“The point of view of life, practice should be the first and main point of view of the theory of knowledge. And it inevitably leads to materialism, casting aside the endless fabrications of professorial scholasticism "
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

“I don’t know what opinion the light will have about my works, but I personally look at myself as at a child who, playing on the seashore, found a few smoother pebbles and a few shells faster than others could, while the immeasurable ocean truth spread before my unexplored gaze "
Isaac Newton

“Mathematics is the science of the young. It cannot be otherwise. Doing mathematics is such a gymnastics of the mind, for which all the flexibility and endurance of youth is needed "
Norbert Wiener

"Scientists, more than anyone else, can confidently imagine all the joy of life that science can bring to mankind in conditions of justice and peace."
Frederic Joliot-Curie

“… In the applied sciences it is not so easy to serve the truth. Here access to the truth is hampered not only by scientific obstacles, that is, those that can be removed with the help of science. No, in applied science, beyond these obstacles, human passions, prejudices and weaknesses from different sides affect access to truth and often make it completely inaccessible. "
Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov

"In the subjects of our research we must look not for what they think about them or what we assume about them ourselves, but what we can clearly and obviously see or reliably deduce, for knowledge cannot be achieved otherwise."
Rene Descartes

"Two human aspirations - to Knowledge and Power - truly coincide in the same"
Francis Bacon

“From my own experience, I know what fullness of happiness is given by persistent scientific work, the solution of riddles, which are still many in the nature around us. What a satisfaction the consciousness gives that each new knowledge opens up new opportunities to improve a person's life, his life and culture. At the same time, our horizons are expanding - it is not without reason that scientific creativity is compared with ascent to a height, but there is no end to the ascent: only an eternal striving forward moves science. "
Abram Fedorovich Ioffe

"The first place in my life has been and is still occupied by scientific research, scientific work, free scientific thought and creative search for truth by a person."
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky

"... For the development of science, it is required in each given epoch not only that people think in general, but that they concentrate their thoughts on that part of the vast field of science that at this time requires development."
James Maxwell

“... To demand that people abandon their own judgments and submit to the judgments of others, and to appoint persons completely ignorant of science or art as judges over people by scientists, giving them the power to deal with the latter at their own discretion, these are innovations that are able to bring to ruin the republic and destroy the state "
Galileo Galilei

"As from a number of words, speech is made up, and from a set of shadows - certain images, so from the mass of comprehended facts, which are in connection with each other, knowledge is born in its sublime, best sense"
Alexander Mikhailovich Butlerov

"There is no weapon stronger than knowledge"
Alexey Maksimovich Gorky

"... The beauty and greatness of the human mind consists in that, without rest, without respite, not knowing fatigue, not fearing dangers, eternally seek the truth that eternally eludes him."
Anatole France

“In the field of observational and experimental sciences - in the study of concrete real nature - the naturalist must — otherwise he cannot work scientifically — accept the reality of the world he is studying as such ... The reality of the world is an axiom of scientific work. The scientist makes here only amendments that do not violate this basic position, without which there can be no scientific work "
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky

"The progress of science is determined by the works of its scientists and the value of their discoveries"
Louis Pasteur

“My followers must get ahead of me, contradict me, even destroy my work, while at the same time continuing it. It is only from such consistently destroyed work that progress is created. "
Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin

"Genius is the patience of a thought concentrated in a certain direction."
Isaac Newton

"... The task of science is to reduce the visible movement only appearing in the phenomenon to the actual internal movement ..."
Karl Marx

“A real scientist should not be afraid that some of the most talented students will discover new natural phenomena, develop new methods and surpass their teacher in a number of their scientific achievements ... You should be proud of such students, because without this there can be no progress in science, neither in technology, nor in art, nor in literature "
Konstantin I. Scriabin

“Nothing can be higher than the joy that the study of nature gives us. Her secrets are incomprehensibly deep; however, it is given to us, people, to penetrate further and further into them with our eyes "
Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky

"It is impossible to draw a line between large and small, because both are equally important for a single whole"
Niels Bohr

Leonardo da Vinci

"The true subject of the teaching is the preparation of man to be man."
Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov

"
Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov

“Observatory palaces and temples of science will always be built to meet this need. And technology with its immense power of the future will always serve this need "
Nikolay Egorovich Zhukovsky

“What sciences are more characteristic of the human mind than natural sciences? They help a person most of all to penetrate into the operation of those laws, the knowledge of which shows how interesting even the most insignificant phenomena of nature are. With the help of these sciences, a person finds, according to the poet: "... the language in the trees, the book in the streams, the chronicles in the rocks and everywhere harmony" "

"... Science is the basis of all progress that makes life easier for mankind and reduces its suffering"
Maria Sklodowska-Curie

“The real focus of science is not volumes of scientific works, but a living mind of a person, and in order to advance science, it is necessary to direct human thought into a scientific channel. This can be done in various ways: by announcing a discovery, defending a paradoxical idea, or by inventing a scientific phrase, or by setting out a system of doctrine. "
James Maxwell

“... What a happy old age a scientist can achieve if the passion for science does not fade in him, if he has managed to win the love and respect of his students, if from his very first steps only the torch of scientific truth illuminates his path, if false lamps of personal interests, ambition , arrogance, envy do not lead him astray from serving science, and through it - to the people "
Nikolay Nikolaevich Semenov

“Inspiration is the disposition of the soul to the lively acceptance of impressions and consideration of concepts, and consequently to the explanation of them. Inspiration is needed in geometry, as well as in poetry "

Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky

"Nothing happens without good reason"
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov

“The conditions of experimental work in modern sciences make collective work useful and even necessary ... The most decisive successes of science in the future, just as they were in the past, will be the result of individual efforts, because brilliant insight, even in its most modest form, always, according to essentially, individually "
Louis de Broglie

"Study hard, study always - this is the second thing I want to advise you."

“The sciences only benefit if they use methods and facts borrowed from each other. Each such contact of sciences is always a step forward. True, at the moment when there is a movement forward, prepared by another, related science, there are always backward people who demand to stop violating the immutable rules established by their science "
Louis Pasteur

"The significance of research often lies not so much in the fact that it cuts a completely new road through the thick of the forest, but also in the fact that it makes a clearing of the carriageway and forces everyone to move along a new path."
Alexander Evgenievich Fersman

"All science is nothing more than an improvement in everyday thinking."
Albert Einstein

"When a person wants to know - he investigates, when he wants to hide from the anxieties of life - he invents"

“... Ascetics are needed like the sun. As the most poetic and joyous element of society, they excite, comfort and ennoble. Their personalities are living documents that indicate to society that besides people arguing about optimism and pessimism, writing unimportant stories out of boredom, unnecessary projects and cheap dissertations, debauched in the name of denying life and lying for a piece of bread ... there are also people of a different order, people of heroism, faith and a conscious goal "
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Abram Fedorovich Ioffe

“… Science would gain a lot from if every scientist, who worked for many years on the establishment of exact knowledge, at the end of his life paid attention to… not yet substantiated considerations. The only important thing is that this scientific fantasy does not break away from reality, so that it is in constant connection with this reality "
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov

“Hypotheses and theories, doctrines and schemes in many fields of science are ready-made whole atlases of maps. To abandon them means to abandon the path. In the forest of facts or in the ocean of thought, you can equally get lost without theories and doctrines. "

"Many, having read my works, will not think about how to be convinced of the truth of what I have said, but only about how to find ways to refute my arguments, true or false."
Galileo Galilei

Alexey Maksimovich Gorky

“... The history of science is not limited to the listing of successful research. She should tell us about the unsuccessful research and explain why some of the brightest people could not find the key of knowledge and how the reputation of others gave only more support for the mistakes that they fell into. "
James Maxwell

"In the world of scientific ideas, as everywhere in life, progress and truth do not immediately win: we need a fight for them, the mobilization of all forces, we need a lot of determination and energy, a lot of confidence in the rightness and faith in victory."
Alexander Evgenievich Fersman

"... It is absurd to deny the role of fantasy in the most rigorous science ..."
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

“All our dignity lies in thought. It is not space and not time, which we cannot fill, that elevate us, but it is she, our thought. Let's learn to think well: this is the basic principle of morality "
Blaise Pascal

“… Youth in science is, first of all, courage in setting new tasks, courage in pursuit, courage in methods of their implementation. The second is falling in love with science. From the moment this love ends, the scientist ceases to be young, ceases to be a scientist ... The third is the absence of narcissism, complacency, narcissism - the most terrible enemies of a scientist ... Fourth: a real scientist should be alien to jealousy and envy. Who solved the difficult problem, who created a new wonderful theory, is in the end a secondary question. The joy that the problem has been solved always surpasses that of a young-spirited scientist the petty annoyance that he or his team did not have to do it. The news of another's great success should inspire a desire to do new, more difficult things ... "
Sergey Lvovich Sobolev

"The sooner we are convinced of the unlimited possibilities of science to do good - and not in some distant future, but today and tomorrow, - the sooner the peoples of the world will reject the false and destructive path that leads to war and destruction."

Galileo Galilei

"In science there is no wide pillar road, and only he can reach its shining peaks, who, not fearing fatigue, climbs its stony paths."
Karl Marx

“A scientist should, out of a sense of patriotism, develop his ideas and educate fellow citizens about the role of science, which should serve the liberation of a person, and not the accumulation of personal profits. If a scientist does not have the elementary courage, then how will he justify his presence in the laboratory? This is politics, they will tell me. But politics is a wonderful thing that they want to discredit out of bad intentions. "
Frederic Joliot-Curie

"No one was so wrong in their predictions as the prophets of the limitations of human knowledge."
Clement A. Timiryazev

Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin

"Maybe we owe science more than any other kind of human activity, for the emergence of a sense of the need for collective efforts."
Frederic Joliot-Curie

“Hypotheses are scaffolding that is erected in front of the building and demolished when the building is ready; they are necessary for the worker; he should not only mistake forests for buildings "
Johann Wolfgang Goethe

"I am not abandoned by the thought that even now science is close to the implementation of a project that will bring humanity either an unprecedented misfortune or unheard of benefit."
Niels Bohr

“Truth is the highest reality and the highest good; only one it gives real, not imaginary happiness "
Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky

"The creativity of a person in general, and therefore of a scientist, is not a primary, indecomposable property, but the result of two more elementary properties: an amazing performance of the imagination (in turn, the result of colossal obsession and memory) and no less amazingly subtle and quick critical ability."
Clement A. Timiryazev

"... To search for the truth, it is necessary once in a lifetime, as much as possible, to question everything."
Rene Descartes

"... The scientific worldview, imbued with natural science and mathematics, is the greatest power not only of the present, but also of the future."
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky

“One should not accept in nature other reasons, in addition to those that are true and sufficient to explain the phenomena. For nature is simple and does not luxuriate in unnecessary reasons "
Isaac Newton

Giordano Bruno

"There are no limits to fantasy, there are no limits to the penetration of reason, there are no limits to technical power that conquers nature."
Alexander Evgenievich Fersman

"At the level of the highest creativity, the process of creation is nothing more than the deepest criticism."
Norbert Wiener

“And it is most instructive to admit that even individual proposals or hypotheses, which later turned out to be incorrect, more than once gave rise to important discoveries that increased the strength of the sciences, and this is because only the general, to the mind that appears to be true, that is, hypothesis, theory, doctrine, gives that stubbornness, even stubbornness in the study, without which power would not have accumulated "
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

"Technology has long known the high value of science and owes its influence to its modern brilliant development."
Nikolay Egorovich Zhukovsky

“... Human nature is arranged in such a way that a person can achieve his improvement only by working to improve his contemporaries, in the name of their good. If a person works only for himself, he can, perhaps, become a famous scientist, a great sage, an excellent poet, but he can never become a truly perfect and great person. "
Karl Marx

“My belief is the belief that progress in science will bring happiness to humanity. I believe that the human mind and its highest embodiment - science - will save the human race from disease, hunger, enmity, and reduce grief in people's lives. This faith has given and gives me strength and helps me to carry on my work "
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov

"Only those who can rise above themselves are able to understand the greatness of science."
Ludwig Feuerbach

“It seems to us almost impossible without natural science to bring up powerful mental development, no branch of knowledge so accustomed the mind to a firm positive step, to humility before the truth, to conscientious work and, more importantly, to conscientiously accepting the consequences as they come out, such as studying nature; with them we would start education in order to cleanse the adolescent mind of prejudices, let him mature on this healthy food and then open for him, strengthened and armed, the human world, the world of history, from which the doors open directly to activity ... "
Alexander Ivanovich Herzen

“The scientific knowledge of one humbles the dangerous servant, the force of nature, and directs him wherever he wants. And the foundations of this knowledge are composed of facts, between which there is never a single one that science would neglect. A fact that today seems petty, solitary and unimportant, tomorrow, due to new discoveries, may become the seed of a new fruitful branch of knowledge. "
Alexander Mikhailovich Butlerov

Werner Heisenberg

“Scientists are the same visionaries and artists; they are not free over their ideas; they can work well, work for a long time only on what their thought lies in, what their feeling leads to. In them, ideas change; the most impossible, often extravagant, appear; they swarm, whirl, merge, shimmer. And among such ideas they live and for such ideas they work "
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky

"When the new has just been born, the old always remains, for some time, stronger than it, this always happens in nature and in social life."
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

"
Alexander Mikhailovich Butlerov

“The Soviet scientist cannot forget that he is working for the people and that scientific truth is not an end in itself, but the right path to raising culture, to mastering the forces of nature for the benefit of the people. Therefore, acquiring knowledge, the scientist brings it to his people, therefore he raises new personnel and strives to ensure that his students know more and know how to work better than he. "

“The scientist should be a person who seeks to listen to any assumption, but himself determines whether it is true. Outward signs of phenomena should not bind the scientist's judgments, he should not have a favorite hypothesis, he should be outside of schools and not have authority.

M. Friedman

Society has a truly insatiable curiosity about everything that does not deserve curiosity.
O. Wilde

Every society exists on a certain cement of social lies, whether to call it convention, decency or hypocrisy.
G. Fedotov

Two or three are already Society. One will become God, the other will become the devil, one will broadcast from the pulpit, the other will dangle under the crossbar.
T. Carlyle

Every person, whoever he may be, tries to put on such an appearance and put on such a disguise that he will be mistaken for who he wants to appear; therefore, it can be said that society consists only of masks.
F. La Rochefoucauld

As society thinks, so it is controlled. His right is to say stupid things, the ministers' right is to do stupid things.
N. Shamfort

I am convinced that if society were not entirely artificial, a simple and genuine feeling would make a much less powerful impression on people than it does today. It would be pleasing, but not surprising; now it both pleases and surprises. Our surprise is a mockery of society; our joy is a tribute to nature.
N Shamphor

As soon as service to society ceases to be the main business of citizens and they prefer to serve it with their wallets, and not personally, the state is already close to destruction. Need to go into battle? - they hire troops, but they themselves stay at home. Need to go to the Council? - they elect deputies and stay at home. Finally, they finally have soldiers to serve the fatherland and representatives to sell it.
J. J. Rousseau

It is in seriousness that the frivolity of our society, which has long forgotten how to laugh at itself, is manifested most of all.

Everything worthy of respect is done in solitude, that is, away from society.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Man is what he believes in.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Respect for a person is a condition without which there is no progress for us ...

To be human is to feel responsible. Feel ashamed in front of poverty, which, it would seem, does not depend on you. Be proud of every victory won by your comrades. Realize that by laying bricks you are helping to build the world.

Do you care about the future? Build today. You can change everything. Grow a cedar forest on a barren plain. But it is important that you do not construct cedars, but plant seeds.

That which constitutes the dignity of the world can be saved only on one condition: remembering about it. And the dignity of the world is compassion, love for knowledge and respect for the inner man.

A person is driven primarily by motives that cannot be seen with the eyes. The spirit guides the person.

Apuleius

It is not necessary to look at where a person was born, but what his morals are, not in what land, but according to what principles he decided to live his life.

Blaise Pascal

Each person is a separate definite personality, which will not be a second time. People differ in the very essence of the soul; their similarity is only superficial. The more someone becomes by himself, the deeper he begins to understand himself, the clearer his distinctive features appear.

Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov

The human mind is like a skein of tangled silk; first of all, you must carefully find the end of the thread in order to untangle it.

Walter Scott

The strength of the spirit makes a person invincible; fearlessness is, figuratively speaking, the eyes of human nobility. A fearless person sees good and evil not only with his eyes, but also with his heart; he cannot indifferently pass by misfortune, grief, humiliation of human dignity.

Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky

It is much more accurate to judge a person by his dreams than by his thoughts.

The future has several names. For a weak person, the name of the future is impossibility. For the faint-hearted - the unknown. For the thoughtful and valiant - the ideal. The need is urgent, the task is great, the time has come. Forward to the victory!

Man was created not to drag chains, but to soar above the ground with his wings wide open.

For a person to move forward, he must constantly have before him on the heights glorious examples of courage.

In serving the cause or love for another person, a person realizes himself. The more he gives himself to the cause, the more he gives himself to his partner, the more he is a person, and the more he becomes himself.

Victor Frankl

You can take away everything from a person, except for one thing: the last freedom of a person - to choose his own attitude to any circumstances, to choose his own path.

Victor Frankl

Gaston de Lewis

Delia Steinberg Guzman

When all roads come to a dead end, when all illusions are destroyed, when not a single ray of the sun shines on the horizon, a spark of hope remains in the depths of every person's soul.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

When a ceremony is performed in the soul of a person, when he feels that the name, image, virtue, and everything connected with God live in his own heart, when worship is performed in this place of the human body, where the human comes into contact with the divine, then the boundaries are erased religions, and Higher Intuition allows us to see the radiance of one God.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

A new miracle that needs to be added to the list of traditional ones is the miracle of being a man whose feet are on the ground, and his head rises to the starry sky.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

Only human consciousness is able to overcome the path from the diversity of things to Unity. It ascends and descends, descends and ascends, linking these two extremes of the manifestation of life.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

Man is born, grows, flourishes, weakens and dies. Despite his blindness, he nevertheless admits that his death is not absolute, as in general nothing in nature completely freezes. He does not realize that, as soon as the time comes, he, too, will be reborn with the same ease with which trees do it. He cannot pretend to be reborn in the same body, but trees do not need the same leaves that were on them last summer. Our bodies are leaves, but the roots remain the same, as the soul lives forever.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

Being a good person means not only not doing injustice, but also not wanting it.

Democritus

Denis Diderot

In the will of man there is the force of striving, which turns the fog inside us into the sun.

Deep within the soul there is a desire that leads a person from the visible to the invisible, to philosophy, to the divine.

A person's significance is determined not by what he has achieved, but rather by what he dares to achieve. Gibran Khalil Gibran True Light is the one that comes from within a person and reveals the secrets of the heart to the soul, making it happy and at ease with life.

A person struggles to find life outside himself, not realizing that the life he is looking for is within him.

A person who is limited in heart and thoughts tends to love what is limited in life. A person with limited vision cannot see beyond one cubit length on the road on which he is walking, or on the wall against which he rests with his shoulder.

Whatever it takes, you must act on the truth and must not do what is untrue, no matter what an ignorant person thinks or says about you.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

It often happens that a person considers happiness to be far from himself, but it has already come to him with inaudible steps.

Giovanni Boccaccio

The less a person thinks about himself, the less unhappy he is.

Johnson

After all, the human heart also has two peaks that grow from a single root; likewise, in the spiritual sense, from one passion of the heart, two opposites flow, hatred and love, just as Mount Parnassus has a single foundation under two peaks.

Catherine II

While our hearts are filled with thoughts of a small group of several “I's”, near and dear to us, what remains in our soul for the rest of humanity?

May every burning human tear fall into the depths of your heart, and may it abide there: do not remove it until the sadness that gave birth to it is removed.

Debt is something that must be given to humanity, our loved ones, our neighbors, our family, and, above all, what we owe to all those who are poorer and more defenseless than us. This is our duty, and failure to fulfill it during our life makes us spiritually untenable and leads to a state of moral collapse in our future incarnation.

Everyone is given the opportunity to walk from peak to peak and cooperate with nature to achieve the obvious goal of life. The spiritual "I" of a person moves in eternity like a pendulum swinging between the periods of life and death. This "I" is an actor, and his numerous incarnations are the roles he plays.

A real person is one who does not give up his words.

A person is born for great deeds when he has the strength to conquer himself.

Indian wisdom

The greatest merit of man remains, of course, that as much as possible he determines the circumstances and as little as possible allows them to determine himself.

Give the person a purpose worth living for and they can survive in any situation.

You cannot always be a hero, but you can always remain human.

A distinctive feature of a person is to want to start everything all over again ...

A person's greatest wealth is a state of mind strong enough not to desire any riches.

A person lives a real life if he is happy with someone else's happiness.

A person with faith and presence of mind wins even in the most difficult endeavors, but as soon as he succumbs to the most insignificant doubt, and he perishes.

Do what you think is honest without expecting any glory for it; remember that a foolish person is a bad judge of good deeds.

The true strength of a person is not in impulses, but in an inviolable calm striving for good, which he establishes in thoughts, expresses in words and leads in actions.

As soon as an ideal, higher than the previous one, is placed before humanity, all former ideals fade like stars before the sun, and a person cannot but recognize the highest ideal, just as he cannot but see the sun.

It is bad if a person does not have something for which he is ready to die.

Only then is it easy to live with a person when you do not consider yourself higher, better than him, or him higher and better than yourself.

A person is like a fraction: the numerator is what he is, the denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.

A person is not given to understand if there is no love in him, and it is not given to recognize if he does not sacrifice himself.

Lenormand

A person is born not to drag out a sad existence in inaction, but to work on a great and grandiose cause.

Mengzi

The human soul is a storehouse, not accessible to everyone, and it is impossible to rely on the apparent similarity of some signs.

Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol

The purpose of man is to serve, and our whole life is service. It is only necessary not to forget that a place was taken in the earthly state in order to serve on it the Heavenly Sovereign and therefore to bear in mind His law. Only by serving in this way can you please everyone: the Emperor, and his people, and his land.

Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol

All that is real, good is acquired by the struggle and hardships of the people who prepared it; and a better future must be prepared in the same way.

Nikolay Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky

Experience is not what happens to a person, but what a person does with what happens to him.

A person is worth as much as he values ​​himself.

Francois Rabelais

A truly noble person is not born with a great soul, but makes himself so great by his deeds.

Francesco Petrarca

Throw yourself on the wings of the windmills, pretending to be the hands of giants. You are the new Don Quixotes, and therefore it is better to die in the name of a worthy cause than to live in rags of fear.

On the day when humanity meets its destiny, which it itself has created over the past few centuries, when all the blood accumulated by long suffering will rain before the eyes of its future leaders, the fate of ancient religions, in whose temples cattle graze today, will seem welcome and bright like the morning sun.

There are two things that only man is capable of: laughter and prayer; when these two values ​​- a sense of humor and religion - are lost - a person reaches the state of an animal.

We are travelers. And after long wanderings, enriched with impressions, albeit covered with scars - traces of countless adventures, we go to where we left. We yearn for new distances, our eyes, like hawks, peer into the horizon, and dry lips whisper: "Let's go home!"

You have to look for your essence, your human origins, your inner strengths, your potentials. And just as we bathe to cleanse our body, we must bathe in the mysterious light of philosophy in order to cleanse our soul.

A true idealist is a person whose height does not depend on his physical growth, but on the grandeur of his dreams. The horizons opening up to him are outlined not by mountains, but by his faith in himself.

The new man whom we proclaim and to whom we appeal is young at heart; he is the bearer and guardian of hope, he has eternal power to remain optimistic, enthusiastic and able to do what you want. He can fulfill his dreams, he understands and respects the differences that exist between people, for he has a deep respect for people themselves and for the world. Genuine humanity is inherent in him.

The difference between a person and an animal lies in the fact that he has the belief that he lives an inner life, that his eyes fill with tears at the sight of the sunset and that he is able to read poetry, understand them and pass them on to other people. A man, unlike an animal, does not consider strength to be the highest dignity, he seeks to help the weak.

Knowing himself, a person knows his divine essence and recognizes it wherever he wants to see it.

Happy are those who live, those who truly live, who carry in themselves a grain of hope, from which a whole world will grow - a world of hope, a new world that will be better than the previous one.

Three virtues adorn the soul: beauty, wisdom and love. A person should honor and strive to comprehend them.

Man has the magnitude of what he dares to do.

Ephraim Gotthold Lessing
