... Is it possible to be at the same time incapable of attention and gifted with great talents? Do they really think that if Locke and Newton had not been diligent, they would have come to their great discoveries?

It is the duty of a scientist to prevent the use of scientific discoveries for the evil of mankind.

Scientific discoveries and scientific knowledge were achieved only by those who went in pursuit of them without any practical purpose.

Knowledge, ilm, is like a wagon pulled by several horses. If one of the horses goes faster, the others will also have to quicken their pace in order to keep up with her. As a result, the traveler, alim, will benefit. Discoveries made in one area contribute to a deeper understanding of all others. Therefore, architecture should be friends with astronomy, astronomy with mathematics, arithmetic with philosophy, and so on.

It is regrettable that humanity often neglects the treasures of wisdom and tramples precious stones into the ground, which the discoverers managed to extract from the bottomless depths of the Universe. Meanwhile, thrifty memory is just as necessary a condition for cognition as the thirst for new discoveries.

And since, in anticipation, almost all the life of mankind lies in the future, almost everything of value also lies in the future: almost all prosperity; almost all beauty; our greatest achievements; our most just societies; our deepest discoveries. We can continue our progress in prosperity, health, justice, freedom and moral thinking. We can create a world of well-being and prosperity that challenges our ability to imagine. And if we protect this world from catastrophe, it can survive for millions of centuries. This is our potential – something we could achieve if we bridged the chasm and continued to strive for a better world.

The most important thing is not books, not scientific discoveries, not countries, but people. Those who are next to you.

Tom was very pleased with his first year in London. And yet he yearned for America. Not Boston or Puritan relatives, but other things that he could hardly describe. Feeling like space, new limits, opening up the world. It was a yearning for freedom - perhaps out of wild will.

You're in the sanctuary of the Great Tree. And this is only a tiny fraction of the beauty that Kinaret gives us. It's awesome, right? Yes, although no one could ever come close to Him. As you can see, the roots of the Great Tree are huge and stretch into the distance, blocking the entire approach to yourself.

Doubt, one of the most important conditions for any improvement and discovery, should accompany a person at every step of his progress.

Let's look at our journalistic community. If you are not cited abroad, especially military journalism, you generally don't end up a journalist. And the expert community? If you are not quoted by Western agencies, you're not the expert. You're a propagandist. And the scientific community? If you're not published in a foreign language, you're not a scientist. You're so garbage. And where does it go? And please see the manuals of our ministries. View manuals on neurometric our so-called universities and research institutions. Yes, there are for the article in a foreign language about the mating habits of whales you can get a lot more points in scientometric system than fundamental research. <...>
All this nanometrica, based on the priority foreign publications, it is not such a harmless thing. And it's not harmless in the technical disciplines in the natural, and it is not very harmless in the Humanities. Therefore, to demand something from them, it is necessary to restore order at home. Should this scientific compradorship cleaned up by the roots. Why the publication in the Russian media, in Russian scientific journals is less valued than publication in the secondary Malo-read foreign magazines? Why the requirement to publish in a foreign language is included as compulsory? We who are here grow? And why? We grow the people steps will be involved in the foreign network? To foreign intelligence agencies? Why we raise them here, I'd like to know.

International rating. One of the tasks of the higher school - to rise in the international rating

I think the fish are rotting from the head. It is necessary to seriously to look through our ministries. And see who and why wrote these instructions. And I think we can expect very interesting discoveries.

Colleagues awarded Burton the nickname Spotykach, whether because he was always stumbling, stepping on his untied shoelaces and worn cuffs of the pants, either because they had an amazing ability to accidentally stumble on the most important discoveries.

Obsession is a great power; the real inspiration comes when you're wasting your time and fooling around without any purpose. At this time it often happens that new ideas were made real discoveries.

The main thing - not to stop asking questions. The most incredible thing waiting for you will reveal it, maybe on another continent, maybe right next to each other.
