I don’t know what people in the world think of me.
I think this way: I seem to be a child playing on the sea, sometimes finding a smooth stone, sometimes finding a beautiful shell and being happy about it.
Despite this, the ocean of truth is still mysteriously unfolding before us.
---Newton (UK)
10.
Scientific inspiration cannot come by just waiting.
If there is any accidental opportunity in scientific discovery, then this kind of "accidental opportunity" can only be given to those who are well-educated, to those who are good at independent thinking, and to those who have the ability to think independently. People with perseverance will not give up to lazy people.
---Hua Luogeng (China)

A scientist should consider the comments of later generations, not the insults or praises of the time.
---Pasteur (France)

We are enjoying the huge benefits that other people's inventions have brought to us, and we must also be willing to use our own inventions to serve others.
---Franklin (USA)

I have never made an accidental invention in my life.
All my inventions are the result of careful consideration and rigorous testing.
---Edison (USA)

Developing the general ability to think independently and judge independently should always be given top priority, rather than the acquisition of specialized knowledge.
If a person masters the basic theory of his subject and learns to think and work independently, he will surely find his own path and will be better trained than one who mainly acquires detailed knowledge. If the person comes with the content, he will surely be better able to adapt to progress and changes.
---Einstein (USA)
