(ORDO NEWS) — From time to time, we publish little-known quotes from scientists because we love to study the past and present, touch the wisdom of great people, and remind ourselves why the popularization of science is so important.
We appreciate the opportunity to share with you these grains of optimism and inspiration, which through the ages have reached our days.
Note that some of the quotes are from living scientists who are no less eminent than their predecessors.
