Do what you can, with what you have, and do it now!
There are two ways, one is right; the other is wrong. If your work is only about right, then it is wrong.
One reason I never patent my products is that if I did it would take so much time, I would get nothing else done. But mainly I don’t want my discoveries to benefit specific favored persons.
We get closer to God as we get more intimately and understandingly acquainted with the things He has created. I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for one’s self.
Whatever you love opens its secrets to you.
When I touch that flower, I am not merely touching that flower. I am touching infinity. That little flower existed long before there were human beings on this earth. It will continue to exist for thousands, yes, millions of years to come.

Nature is the greatest teacher and I learn from her best when others are asleep. In the still dark hours before sunrise God tells me of the plans I am to fulfill.
Learn to do the common things uncommonly well.
I think I’ll sleep now.
Education, in the broadest of truest sense, will make an individual seek to help all people, regardless of race, regardless of color, regardless of condition.
There is literally nothing that I ever asked to do, that I asked the blessed Creator to help me to do, that I have not been able to accomplish.
Education is understanding relationships.
One of the things that has helped me as much as any other is not how long I am going to live, but how much I can do while living.
More and more as we come closer and closer in touch with nature and its teachings are we able to see the Divine and are therefore fitted to interpret correctly the various languages spoken by all forms of nature about us.
I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for ones self.
How far you go in life depends on...
You can’t teach people anything. You can only draw out.
Look about you. Take hold of the things that are here. Let them talk to you. You learn to talk to them.
Young people, I want to beg of you always keep your eyes open to what Mother Nature has to teach you. By so doing you will learn many valuable things every day of your life.
