We must have perserverence and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something. “You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end,each of us must work for our own improvement and, at the same time, share a genaral responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think can be most useful.” A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales. I am one of those who think, like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child. Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
