In science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.
在科学中，荣誉归于说服世界的人，而不是首先想到这个想法的人。

People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things. They will put things together, knowing all along that they may be mistaken.

所以天将要把重大任务落到这个人身上，一定先要使他的心志痛苦，使他的筋骨劳累，使他的身体饥饿，使他的身子穷困，并且使他的每一行为总是不能如意，借此来使他的内心震动，坚韧他的性情，增加他的才干。
