The true scientist never stops exploring.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Science is not a body of knowledge, but a way of thinking.

Like thousands of other boys, I had a little chemical laboratory in our cellar and think that some of our friends thought me a bit crazy.

Heisenberg has discussed the coupled double harmonic oscillator, and has shown that the ordinary rules of quantization lead to two non-combining sets of states in one of which the electrons are in phase and out of phase. The energy of the system is successively transferred from one to the other – resonance!

Our choices determine our destiny.

I have always been a peace-loving person.

We must be willing to get rid of the old to make way for the new.

The problem of an atomic war must not be confused by minor problems such as Communism versus capitalism. An atomic war would kill everyone, left, right, or center.

Although physicians, as part of their training, are taught that the dosage of a drug that is prescribed for the patient must be very carefully determined and controlled, they seem to have difficulty in remembering that the same principle applies to the vitamins.

Life is a little like a river; it flows and changes.

The human mind is capable of great things, but it can also be easily distracted.

In teaching, you do not want to COVER things, you want to UNCOVER them. The best way to get good ideas is to have lots of ideas.

..The truly fraudulent claims must be discarded. But novel methods of therapy should not be rejected because they are novel, or because they run counter to some generally accepted belief (“which may just be biased”), or because we do not understand the mechanism of the proposed treatment, or because it has come from an unconventional source.

No evidence compels the conclusion that the minimum required intake of any vitamin comes close to the optimum intake that sustains good health.

The only sane policy for the world is that of abolishing war.

Nations keep agreements, keep their treaties so long as they continue to do them good.

Peace is not merely the absence of war.

I think that the formation of [DNA’s] structure by Watson and Crick may turn out to be the greatest developments in the field of molecular genetics in recent years.

There is no safe amount of radiation. Even small amounts do harm.

Man’s great power of thinking, remembering, and communicating are responsible for the evolution of civilization.

By the proper intakes of vitamins and other nutrients and by following a few other healthful practices from youth or middle age on, you can, I believe, extend your life and years of well-being by twenty-five or even thirty-five years.

Do unto others 20% better than you’d expect them to do unto you to correct subjective error.

You can’t be a scientist without being a poet.

Every aspect of the world today – even politics and international relations – is affected by chemistry.

Life is a relationship among molecules and not a property of any molecule.

If you take a reasonable amount of vitamin C regularly, the incidence of the common cold goes down. If you get a cold and start immediately, as soon as you start sneezing and sniffling, the cold just doesn’t get going.

The most important thing is to have a great idea and to work hard.

You can’t have good ideas unless you have lots of ideas.

Provided one has the correct level of vitamin, mineral and nutritional input, the body can overcome disease.

When an old and distinguished person speaks to you, listen to him carefully and with respect — but do not believe him. Never put your trust into anything but your own intellect. Your elder, no matter whether he has gray hair or has lost his hair, no matter whether he is a Nobel laureate — may be wrong. The world progresses, year by year, century by century, as the members of the younger generation find out what was wrong among the things that their elders said. So you must always be skeptical — always think for yourself.

Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.

If you want to get the right answer, you must ask the right question.

Satisfaction of one’s curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.

Just one living cell in the human body is, more complex than New York City.

Do not let either the medical authorities or the politicians mislead you. Find out what the facts are, and make your own decisions about how to live a happy life and how to work for a better world.

Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality.

Science is a search for the unknown.

The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.

I have something that I call my Golden Rule. It goes something like this: ‘Do unto others twenty-five percent better than you expect them to do unto you.’ … The twenty-five percent is for error.

Optimum nutrition is the medicine of tomorrow.

You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.
