While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.

Facts are the air of the scientists. Without them you never can fly.

School yourself to demureness and patience. Learn to inure yourself to drudgery in science. Learn, compare, collect the facts.

Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.
