We must expect the discovery of many as yet unknown elements-for example, elements analogous to aluminum and silicon- whose atomic weight would be between 65 and 75.

The most all penetrating spirit before which will open the possibility of tilting not tables, but planets, is the spirit of free human inquiry. Believe only in that.

Work, look for peace and calm in work: you will find it nowhere else.

I saw in a dream a table where all the elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper.

Knowing how contented, free, and joyful is life in the world of science, one fervently wishes that many would enter its portals.

Certain characteristic properties of elements can be foretold from their atomic weights.

The magnitude of the atomic weight determines the character of the element, just as the magnitude of the molecule determines the character of a compound body.

No one nor anything can silence me.

There exists everywhere a medium in things, determined by equilibrium.

Elements which are similar as regards their chemical properties have atomic weights which are either of nearly the same value (eg. Pt, Ir, Os) or which increase regularly (eg. K, Ru, Cs).

If all the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights, a periodic repetition of properties is obtained. This is expressed by the law of periodicity.

You fall flat on your face, and it's not the first time you've done it, Never let your past press you down.

To each his own magic.

Speak about the love of God and faces light up, but speak of God as a Judge, and our attitudes change.

I don’t hate you, ” I said, and I almost believed it.

Committing yourself to some kind of job that isn't committed to God is going to bring so much trouble into your life. It's not good and not something I would suggest that someone seek.

Yeah, I definitely wanted to do a kids' movie because I have a kid. I want to do things that my daughter can see soon - when she is old enough to know what a movie is.

Child prodigy is a curse because you've got all those terrible possibilities.

The German ueber-photographer Andreas Gursky was the perfect pre-9/11 artist.

What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange.
