teacher men two
They will listen with both ears to what is said by the men just a step or two ahead of them, who stand nearest to them, and within arm's reach. A guide ceases to be of any use when he strides so far ahead as to be hidden by the curvature of the earth.
discovery findings
Discovery begins by finding the discoverer.
nature next moments
Nature is full of by-ends. A moth feeds on a petal, in a moment the pollen caught on its breast will be wedding this blossom to another in the next county.
roots curves tree
A tree nowhere offers a straight line or a regular curve, but who doubts that root, trunk, boughs, and leaves embody geometry?

Ignorance may find a truth on its doorstep that erudition vainly seeks in the stars.
two silence different
Dumbness and silence are two different things.

Boundaries which mark off one field of science from another are purely artificial, are set up only for temporary convenience. Let chemists and physicists dig deep enough, and they reach common ground.
science keys form
A calculating engine is one of the most intricate forms of mechanism, a telegraph key one of the simplest. But compare their value.

Nothing cools so fast as undue enthusiasm. Water that has boiled freezes sooner than any other.
