What Seems Today Inconceivable Will

We Cannot Rest And Sit Down Lest We Rust And Decay. Health Is Maintained Only Through Work. And As It Is With All Life So It Is With Science. We Are Always Struggling From The Relative To The Absolute.

Anybody Who Has Been Seriously Engaged In Scientific Work Of Any Kind Realizes That Over The Entrance To The Gates Of The Temple Of Science Are Written The Words: 'ye Must Have Faith.'

There Can Never Be Any Real Opposition Between Religion And Science; For The One Is The Complement Of The Other. Every Serious And Reflective Person Realizes, I Think, That The Religious Element In His Nature Must Be Recognized And Cultivated If All The Powers Of The Human Soul Are To Act Together In Perfect Balance And Harmony. And Indeed It Was Not By Accident That The Greatest Thinkers Of All Ages Were Deeply Religious Souls

Modern Physics Has Taught Us That The Nature Of Any System Cannot Be Discovered By Dividing It Into Its Component Parts And Studying Each Part By Itself... We Must Keep Our Attention Fixed On The Whole And On The Interconnection Between The Parts. The Same Is True Of Our Intellectual Life. It Is Impossible To Make A Clear Cut Between Science, Religion, And Art. The Whole Is Never Equal Simply To The Sum Of Its Various Parts.

New Scientific Ideas Never Spring From A Communal Body, However Organized, But Rather From The Head Of An Individually Inspired Researcher Who Struggles With His Problems In Lonely Thought And Unites All His Thought On One Single Point Which Is His Whole World For The Moment.
