"Cultivate your
curiosity. Keep it
sharp and always
working. Consider
curiosity your
life
preserver, your
willingness to try
something new.
Second, enlarge your
enthusiasm to
include the pursuit
to excellence,
following every task
through to
completion. Third,
make the law of
averages work for
you. By budgeting
your
time more
carefully than most
people you can make
more
time available.
Does the combination
of curiosity,
enthusiasm, and the
law of averages
guarantee
success?
Indeed it does not!
... Success in the
final analysis
always involves luck
or the element of
chance. Louis
Pasteur grasped this
well when he said
that chance favors
the prepared mind."

"Children whose curiosity
survives parental discipline and who manage to grow up before they blow
up are invited to join the Yale faculty. Within the university they go
on asking their questions and trying to find the answers ... it is a
place where the world's hostility to curiosity can be defied."
[EDMUND S. MORGAN] |

"The cure for boredom is
curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity."
[ELLEN PARR] |

"I think, at a child's
birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most
useful gift, that gift would be curiosity."
[ANNA ELEANOR ROOSEVELT] |

|
"Life was meant to be
lived and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever
reason, turn his back on
life."
[ANNA ELEANOR ROOSEVELT]

"Nothing is more curious
than the almost savage hostility that humor excites in those who lack
it."
[GEORGE SAINTSBURY]

"First
love is
only a little
foolishness and a
lot of curiosity."
[GEORGE BERNARD

|
"Only the curious will
learn and only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning. The
quest quotient has always excited me more than the intelligence
quotient."
[EUGENE S. WILSON] |

"Perhaps the only
misplaced curiosity is that which
persists in trying to find out here,
on this side of death, what lies beyond the grave."

"It is in fact nothing
short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet
entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate
little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is
freedom.
It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and
searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty."
[ALBERT EINSTEIN]
