• Among the most striking things that I have learned is how much we have in common. I've sat down with people everywhere, discussing what was in their hearts and on their minds. And it doesn't take long to find commonality, which is often overlooked, ignored, dismissed, and rejected otherwise.

• If we refuse our homage to statues and frigid images, the very counterpart of their dead originals, with which hawks, and mice, and spiders are so well acquainted, does it not merit praise instead of penalty [Christians were punished for not worshiping Roman gods] that we have rejected what we have come to see is error? We cannot surely be made out to injure those whom we are certain are nonentities. What does not exist is in its nonexistence secure from suffering.

• All possible truth is practical. To ask whether our conception of chair or table corresponds to the real chair or table apart from the uses to which they may be put, is as utterly meaningless and vain as to inquire whether a musical tone is red or yellow. No other conceivable relation than this between ideas and things can exist. The unknowable is what I cannot react upon. The active part of our nature is not only an essential part of cognition itself, but it always has a voice in determining what shall be believed and what rejected.

  G. Stanley Hall

• Do not expect to be hailed as a hero when you make your great discovery. More likely you will be a ratbag-maybe failed by your examiners. Your statistics, or your observations, or your literature study, or your something else will be patently deficient. Do not doubt that in our enlightened age the really important advances are and will be rejected more often than acclaimed. Nor should we doubt that in our own professional lifetime we too will repudiate with like pontifical finality the most significant insight ever to reach our desk.

• Habéis oído hablar de la nueva nomenclatura química que han intentado introducir Lavoisier, Fourcroy, etc. Otros químicos de este país la rechazan y demuestran, en mi opinión, que es prematura, insuficiente y falsa. Otros químicos de este país, de igual reputación, la rechazan y demuestran, en mi opinión, que es prematura, insuficiente y falsa. A estos últimos se unen los químicos británicos; y en general, creo que la nueva nomenclatura será rechazada, después de hacer más daño que bien. Hay algunas buenas publicaciones en ella, que deben ser traducidas al lenguaje químico ordinario antes de que sean útiles.
