“The poet is intimate with truth, while the scientist approaches it awkwardly.”

I dedicate today this Institute — not merely a laboratory but a temple.

The true laboratory is the mind, where behind illusions we uncover the laws of truth.

Mind is everything: muscle, pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind.

As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others.

Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do.

I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. I will be rich by myself, and not by borrowing.

There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
