Discovery begins by finding the discoverer.

George Iles Author

Dumbness and silence are two different things.

George Iles Author

Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.

George Iles Author

Evolution pays and that is why there is evolution

George Iles Author

And many kinds of creatures must have died, Unable to plant out new sprouts of life. For whatever you see that lives and breathes and thrives Has been, from the very beginning, guarded, saved By it's trickery for its swiftness or brute strength. And many have been entrusted to our care, Commended by their usefulness to us. For instance, strength supports a savage lion; Foxes rely on their cunning; deer their flight.

Knowledge is not happiness, and science But an exchange of ignorance for that Which is another kind of ignorance.

Lord Byron Baron Byron

To inquisitive minds like yours and mine the reflection that the quantity of human knowledge bears no proportion to the quantity of human ignorance must be in one view rather pleasing, viz., that though we are to live forever we may be continually amused and delighted with learning something new.

Benjamin Franklin Founding Father Of The United States

Let proportion be found not only in numbers and measures, but also in sounds, weights, times, and positions, and what ever force there is.

Leonardo Da Vinci Painter

Nature goes her own way, and all that to us seems an exception is really according to order.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Writer

On our planet, all objects are subject to continual and inevitable changes which arise from the essential order of things. These changes take place at a variable rate according to the nature, condition, or situation of the objects involved, but are nevertheless accomplished within a certain period of time. Time is insignificant and never a difficulty for Nature. It is always at her disposal and represents an unlimited power with which she accomplishes her greatest and smallest tasks.

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck Science Writer
