10 quotes from Ivan P Pavlov, physiologist, born this date in 1849.
- Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.
- Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.
- While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things.
- It is not accidental that all phenomena of human life are dominated by the search for daily bread - the oldest link connecting all living things, man included, with the surrounding nature.
- It is clear to all that the animal organism is a highly complex system consisting of an almost infinite series of parts connected both with one another and, as a total complex, with the surrounding world, with which it is in a state of equilibrium.
- Never think that you already know all. However highly you are appraised, always have the courage to say to yourself-I am ignorant.
- Be passionate in your work and in your searching.
- Men are apt to be much more influenced by words than by the actual facts of the surrounding reality
- Learn the ABC of science before you try to ascend to its summit.
- Learn, compare, collect the facts!
