The Greatest Malfunction Of Spirit

The Greeks Bequeathed To Us One Of The Most Beautiful Words In Our Language--the Word 'enthusiasm'--en Theos--a God Within. The Grandeur Of Human Actions Is Measured By The Inspiration From Which They Spring. Happy Is He Who Bears A God Within, And Who Obeys It.

Science And Peace Will Triumph Over Ignorance And War...

Chance Favours The Trained Mind.

In That Memorable Year, 1822: Oersted, A Danish Physicist, Held In His Hands A Piece Of Copper Wire, Joined By Its Extremities To The Two Poles Of A Volta Pile. On His Table Was A Magnetized Needle On Its Pivot, And He Suddenly Saw (by Chance You Will Say, But Chance Only Favours The Mind Which Is Prepared) The Needle Move And Take Up A Position Quite Different From The One Assigned To It By Terrestrial Magnetism. A Wire Carrying An Electric Current Deviates A Magnetized Needle From Its Position. That, Gentlemen, Was The Birth Of The Modern Telegraph.

If It Is A Terrifying Thought That Life Is At The Mercy Of The Multiplication Of These Minute Bodies [microbes], It Is A Consoling Hope That Science Will Not Always Remain Powerless Before Such Enemies.
