The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a star.

I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for paradoxes.

They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.

One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

There are truths that prove their discoverers witless.

A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.

When they shout “Long live progress,” always ask, “Progress of what?”

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision.

What one man can invent another can discover.
