The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. it is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true science. he who knows it not, and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead. we all had this priceless talent when we were young. but as time goes by, many of us lose it. the true scientist never loses the faculty of amazement. it is the essence of his being.

The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. it is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true science. he who knows it not, and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead. we all had this priceless talent when we were young. but as time goes by, many of us lose it. the true scientist never loses the faculty of amazement. it is the essence of his being.

Death Science Emotional

More From Hans Selye

The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. it is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. it is the source of all true art and science. he who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. it is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed (albert einstein)

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. anger is only one letter short of danger. if someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. he who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all.

There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. it is the source of all true art and all science. he to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt is awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

The mirror sees the man as beautiful, the mirror loves the man; another mirror sees the man as frightful and hates him; and it is always the same being who produces the impressions.
