Linus Pauling

Linus Pauling
Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.
Linus Pauling

Linus Pauling
Only when I began studying chemical engineering at Oregon Agricultural College did I realize that I myself might discover something new about the nature of the world.
Linus Pauling
Life is a relationship among molecules and not a property of any molecule.
Linus Pauling
Everyone should know that the 'war on cancer' is largely a fraud.
Linus Pauling
You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.
Linus Pauling
We may say that life has borrowed from inanimate processes the same basic mechanism used in producing those striking structures that are crystals, with their beautiful plane faces.
Linus Pauling
I have something that I call my Golden Rule. It goes something like this: 'Do unto others twenty-five percent better than you expect them to do unto you.' … The twenty-five percent is for error.
Linus Pauling
Science is the search for truth.
Linus Pauling
[Instead of collecting stamps, he collected dictionaries and encyclopaedias:] Because you can learn more from them.
