Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas A. Edison
If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent. - Isaac Newton
Wonder is what sets us apart from other life forms. No other species wonders about the meaning of existence or the complexity of the universe or themselves. - Herbert W. Boyer
