Be Less Curious About People

I Never See What Has Been Done; I Only See What Remains To Be Done.

It Is My Earnest Desire That Some Of You Should Carry On This Scientific Work And Keep For Your Ambition The Determination To Make A Permanent Contribution To Science.

Now Is The Time To Understand More, So We Fear Less.

Sometimes My Courage Fails Me And I Think I Ought To Stop Working, Live In The Country And Devote Myself To Gardening. But I Am Held By A Thousand Bonds, And I Don't Know When I Shall Be Able To Arrange Things Otherwise. Nor Do I Know Whether, Even By Writing Scientific Books, I Could Live Without The Laboratory.

My Husband And I Were So Closely United By Our Affection And Our Common Work That We Passed Nearly All Of Our Time Together.
