Frank Field
Scientists still do not appear to understand sufficiently that all earth sciences must contribute evidence toward unveiling the state of our planet in earlier times, and that the truth of the matter can only be reached by combing all this evidence. ...

Further, we have to be prepared always for the possibility that each new discovery, no matter what science furnishes it, may modify the conclusions we draw.
Alfred Wegener

Big whirls have little whirls,That feed on their velocity;And little whirls have lesser whirls,And so on to viscosity.

If I have succeeded better than many who surround me, it has been chiefly - may I say almost solely - from universal assiduity.
John Dalton
Os ventos do destino são imutáveis.

The famed philosopher Diogenes was looking intently at a large collection of human bones piled one upon another. Alexander the Great stood nearby and became curious about what Diogenes was doing. When he asked the old man what he was doing, the rely was, 'I am searching for the bones of your father, but I cannot seem to distinguish them from those of the slaves.' Alexander got the point. All are equal in death.
