Possibilities are like the wings of birds they allow man to soar and to climb to the heavens. And facts are like the atmosphere against which those wings must beat, and without which the soaring bird will surely plummet back to earth.
Ivan Pavlov

More quotes by Ivan Pavlov
As was to be expected, the discovery of the nervous apparatus of the salivary glands immediately impelled physiologists to seek a similar apparatus in other glands lying deeper in the digestive canal.
Ivan Pavlov
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.
Ivan Pavlov
The physiologist who succeeds in penetrating deeper and deeper into the digestive canal becomes convinced that it consists of a number of chemical laboratories equipped with various mechanical devices.
Ivan Pavlov
Science demands from a man all his life. If you had two lives that would not be enough for you. Be passionate in your work and in your searching.
Ivan Pavlov
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.
Ivan Pavlov
In the case of the stomach, however, the nerves of the glandular cells were always severed when constructing an artificially isolated pouch and this, naturally, affected the normal work of the stomach.
Ivan Pavlov
Learn the ABC of science before you try to ascend to its summit.
Ivan Pavlov
Physiology has, at last, gained control over the nerves which stimulate the gastric glands and the pancreas.
Ivan Pavlov
Learn, compare, collect the facts!
Ivan Pavlov
I am convinced that an important stage of human thought will have been reached when the physiological and the psychological, the objective and the subjective, are actually united, when the tormenting conflicts or contradictions between my consciousness and my body will have been factually resolved or discarded.
Ivan Pavlov
It goes without saying that the desire to accomplish the task with more confidence, to avoid wasting time and labour, and to spare our experimental animals as much as possible, made us strictly observe all the precautions taken by surgeons in respect to their patients.
Ivan Pavlov
It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man's mouth water also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the process of digestion.
Ivan Pavlov
Finally, as the digestive canal is a complex system, a series of separate chemical laboratories, I cut the connections between them in order to investigate the course of phenomena in each particular laboratory thus I resolved the digestive canal into several separate parts.
Ivan Pavlov
The Sun-Paul must consider only one thing: what is the relation of this or that external reaction of the animal to the phenomena of the external world?
Ivan Pavlov
As we have seen, bread, and especially dry bread, evokes secretion of considerably larger quantities of saliva than meat.
Ivan Pavlov
Men are apt to be much more influenced by words than by the actual facts of the surrounding reality
Ivan Pavlov
From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands.
Ivan Pavlov
Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.
Ivan Pavlov
School yourself to demureness and patience. Learn to inure yourself to drudgery in science. Learn, compare, collect the facts.
Ivan Pavlov
Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly.
