More quotes by Marie Curie
My husband and I were so closely united by our affection and our common work that we passed nearly all of our time together.
Marie Curie
Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.
Marie Curie
This means that we have here an entirely separate kind of chemistry for which the current tool we use is the electrometer, not the balance, and which we might well call the chemistry of the imponderable.
Marie Curie
In science we must be interested in things, not in persons.
Marie Curie
I believe international work is a heavy task, but that it is nevertheless indispensable to go through an apprenticeship in it, at the cost of many efforts and also of a real spirit of sacrifice: however imperfect it may be, the work of Geneva has a grandeur that deserves our support.
Marie Curie
There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.
Marie Curie
After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
Marie Curie
Nothing in this world is to be feared... only understood.
Marie Curie
I never see what has been done I only see what remains to be done.
Marie Curie
I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
Marie Curie
Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.
Marie Curie
We believe the substance we have extracted from pitchblende contains a metal not yet observed, related to bismuth by its analytical properties. If the existence of this new metal is confirmed we propose to call it polonium, from the name of the original country of one of us.
Marie Curie
We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals.
Marie Curie
I have the best husband one could dream of I could never have imagined finding one like him. He is a true gift of heaven, and the more we live together the more we love each other.
Marie Curie
I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.
Marie Curie
First principle: never to let one's self be beaten down by persons or by events.
Marie Curie
The various reasons which we have enumerated lead us to believe that the new radio-active substance contains a new element which we propose to give the name of radium.
Marie Curie
Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests. But humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit.
Marie Curie
Scientist believe in things, not in person
Marie Curie
More and more, I feel the need for a house and a garden.
Marie Curie
