Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.

Alexander Graham Bell

Nearly all the great improvements, discoveries, inventions, and achievements which have elevated and blessed humanity have been the triumphs of enthusiasm.

Orison Swett Marden

There is a great difference between discoveries and inventions. With discoveries, one can always be skeptical, and many surprises can take place. In the case of inventions, surprises can really only occur for people who have not had anything to do with it.

Werner Heisenberg

Human experience, which is constantly contradicting theory, is the great test of truth. A system, built upon the discoveries of a great many minds, is always of more strength, than what is produced by the mere workings of any one mind, which, of itself, can do very little. There is not so poor a book in the world that would not be a prodigious effort were it wrought out entirely by a single mind, without the aid of prior investigators.

Samuel Johnson

It is notorious that the same discovery is frequently made simultaneously and quite independently, by different persons. Thus, to speak of only a few cases in late years, the discoveries of photography, of electric telegraphy, and of the planet Neptune through theoretical calculations, have all their rival claimants. It would seem, that discoveries are usually made when the time is ripe for them - that is to say, when the ideas from which they naturally flow are fermenting in the minds of many men.

Francis Galton

The seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around us, but they only take root in minds well-prepared to receive them.

Joseph Henry

Genius consists not in making great discoveries, but in seeing the connection between small discoveries.

Walker Percy

The better educated we are and the more acquired information we have, the better prepared shall we find our minds for making great and fruitful discoveries.

Claude Bernard

I have always thought it a great privilege to have as my colleague in the Palit Chair of Chemistry such a distinguished pioneer in scientific research and education in Bengal as Sir Prafulla Ray. It has been invariably my experience that I could count on his cooperation and sympathy in every matter concerning my scientific work.

C. V. Raman

When it comes to the fundamental issues that humanity faces, I think that solutions involve shifting consciousness towards cooperation.

Jeremy Gilley

As it is the mark of great minds to say many things in a few words, so it is that of little minds to use many words to say nothing.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

How can great minds be produced in a country where the test of great minds is agreeing in the opinion of small minds?

John Stuart Mill

Discoveries from one community cannot be repackaged and provided to another as a silver bullet, That's a "best practice" rollout and it invariably evokes the immune rejection response.

Richard Pascale

It is interesting to note how many of the great scientific discoveries begin as myths.

Rollo May

Literature throws us many great heroes. Real life invariably outdoes them.

Wilbur Smith

This is cooperation [with Hezbollah, Iran , from Russia], I don't know what you mean by support. We have cooperation with countries for decades. Why talk about this cooperation now ?
