More quotes by Linus Pauling
Science is the search for truth.
Linus Pauling
By the proper intakes of vitamins and other nutrients and by following a few other healthful practices from youth or middle age on, you can, I believe, extend your life and years of well-being by twenty-five or even thirty-five years.
Linus Pauling
Men will gather knowledge no matter what the consequences. Science will go on whether we are pessimistic or optimistic, as I am. More interesting discoveries than we can imagine will be made, and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.
Linus Pauling
[Instead of collecting stamps, he collected dictionaries and encyclopaedias:] Because you can learn more from them.
Linus Pauling
Although physicians, as part of their training, are taught that the dosage of a drug that is prescribed for the patient must be very carefully determined and controlled, they seem to have difficulty in remembering that the same principle applies to the vitamins.
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
It will be possible, through the detailed determination of amino-acid sequences of hemoglobin molecules and of other molecules too, to obtain much information about the course of the evolutionary process, and to illuminate the question of the origin of species.
Linus Pauling
Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.
Linus Pauling
Humanism is a philosophy of joyous service for the greater good of all humanity, of application of new ideas of scientific progress for the benefit of all.
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
But I know also that still more interesting discoveries will be made that I have not the imagination to describe - and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.
Linus Pauling
You can't have good ideas unless you have lots of ideas.
Linus Pauling
The problem of an atomic war must not be confused by minor problems such as Communism versus capitalism. An atomic war would kill everyone, left, right, or center.
Linus Pauling
There is no area of the world that should not be investigated by scientists. There will always remain some questions that have not been answered. In general, these are the questions that have not yet been posed.
Linus Pauling
[Professor Pauling] confesses that he had harboured the feeling that sooner or later he would be the one to get the DNA structure and although he was pleased with the double-helix, he 'rather wished the idea had been his'.
Linus Pauling
If you want to have good ideas you must have many ideas. Most of them will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.
Linus Pauling
Every ailment, every sickness and every disease can be traced back to An organic trace mineral deficiency
Linus Pauling
In teaching, you do not want to COVER things, you want to UNCOVER them. The best way to get good ideas is to have lots of ideas.
Linus Pauling
Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly.
Linus Pauling
Nations keep agreements, keep their treaties so long as they continue to do them good.
Linus Pauling
