Quote	Author	Rating	Rate
"Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another."	Plato

"All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it."	Richard P. Feynman

"Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge."	Thomas Edison
"What is now proved was once only imagined."	William Blake
"Scientists make a guess and call it a hypothesis. 'Guess' is too short a word for a professor."	William Jennings Bryan
"A University of Chicago professor said the greatest day in the world was when a water puppy crawled out on land and decided to stay. The water puppy, he said, went on to become a man. If he proves that, I am willing to give up Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day, and to celebrate Water Puppy Day."	William Jennings Bryan
