Famous quotes containing the words honored and/or scientist:
“The soul is no longer honored as it once was, but it still keeps appetite from being the measure of all things.”

“My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: So? Did you learn anything today? But not my mother. “Izzy,” she would say, “did you ask a good question today?” That difference—asking good questions—made me become a scientist.”
—Isidor Isaac Rabi (20th century)
