We travel to learn; and I have never been in any country where they did not doing something better than we do it, think some thoughts better than we think, catch some inspiration from heights above our own.
Maria Mitchell (Unitarian, astronomer, educator)
Study as if you will live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow.
Maria Mitchell (Unitarian, astronomer, educator)
Small as is our whole system compared with the infinitude of creation, brief as is our life compared with the cycles of time, we are so tethered to all the beautiful dependencies of law, that not only the sparrow’s fall is felt to the uttermost bound but the vibrations set in motion by the words that we utter reach through all space and the tremor is felt through all time
Maria Mitchell (Unitarian, astronomer, educator)
When we are chaffed and fretted by small cares, a look at the stars will show us the littleness of our own interests…Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.
