I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries. Marie Curie More Quotes by Marie Curie More Quotes From Marie Curie There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth. Marie Curie hunting truth science Certein bodies... become luminous when heated. Their luminosity disappears after some time, but the capacity of becoming luminous afresh through heat is restored to them by the action of a spark, and also by the action of radium. Marie Curie fresh-start sparks body The various reasons which we have enumerated lead us to believe that the new radio-active substance contains a new element which we propose to give the name of radium. Marie Curie discovery science believe It's always good to marry your best friend. Marie Curie your-best-friend More and more, I feel the need for a house and a garden. Marie Curie garden house needs Life is not easy for any for us. Marie Curie life-is-not-easy life-is easy This means that we have here an entirely separate kind of chemistry for which the current tool we use is the electrometer, not the balance, and which we might well call the chemistry of the imponderable. Marie Curie balance science mean We believe the substance we have extracted from pitchblende contains a metal not yet observed, related to bismuth by its analytical properties. If the existence of this new metal is confirmed we propose to call it polonium, from the name of the original country of one of us. Marie Curie names believe country When one studies strongly radioactive substances special precautions must be taken. Dust, the air of the room, and one's clothes, all become radioactive. Marie Curie dust taken air My husband and I were so closely united by our affection and our common work that we passed nearly all of our time together. Marie Curie husband together common The sensitive plate, the gas which is ionised, the fluorescent screen, are in reality receivers, into another kind of energy, chemical energy, ionic energy... luminous energy. Marie Curie kind energy reality Have no fear of perfection; you'll never reach it.""Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood. Marie Curie Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests. But humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit. A well-organized society should assure to such workers the efficient means of accomplishing their task, in a life freed from material care and freely consecrated to research. Marie Curie You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.

We must believe that we are gifted in something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained. Marie Curie One never notices what has been done one can only see what remains to be done. Marie Curie I tried out various experiments described in treatises on physics and chemistry, and the results were sometimes unexpected. At times, I would be encouraged by a little unhoped-for success; at others, I would be in the deepest despair because of accidents and failures resulting from my inexperience. Marie Curie unexpected physics success sometimes All my mind was centered on my studies, which, especially at the beginning, were difficult. In fact, I was insufficiently prepared to follow the physical science course at the Sorbonne, for, despite all my efforts, I had not succeeded in acquiring in Poland a preparation as complete as that of the French students following the same course.
