Profession : Scientist
Penicillin sat on a shelf for ten years while I was called a quack
It is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject; the details may be worked out by a team
Nature makes penicillin; I just found it
The unprepared mind cannot see the outstretched hand of opportunity
One sometimes finds what one is not looking for
