important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom
this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

The men of experiment are like the ant, they only collect and use; the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of
their own substance. But the bee takes the middle course: it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and field,
but transforms and digests it by a power of its own. Not unlike this is the true business of philosophy (science); for it
neither relies solely or chiefly on the powers of the mind, nor does it take the matter which it gathers from natural history
and mechanical experiments and lay up in the memory whole, as it finds it, but lays it up in the understanding altered and
disgested. Therefore, from a closer and purer league between these two faculties, the experimental and the rational (such as
has never been made), much may be hoped.
