The fact is all of the most highly successful scientists I know work practically all the time.

Paul Greengard

I had to learn that I'm not that special. I may be talented, but I'm not the most talented in the world. And some of the most talented players don't even make it.

Danny Green

Most of the scientists I know think civilization is teetering on the brink of a global disaster. They just don't know when it's going to hit. I don't have the answer to that either. I'm scared as hell.

Paul R. Ehrlich

JPMorgan Chase are among the most successful global investment banks, most successful global asset managers, and, in the United States, one of the most successful retail and commercial bankers. We do a great job for customers.

Jamie Dimon

I think both science and art are impelled by curiosity: What's really happening? How do things really function? How can I really engage with the world around me? These are questions that artists and scientists both ask.

Amy Hardie

Curiosity, n. An objectionable quality of the female mind. The desire to know whether or not a woman is cursed with curiosity is one of the most active and insatiable passions of the masculine soul.

Ambrose Bierce

Beyond the Einsteins and Darwins, most scientists don't have chroniclers. Einstein and Darwin were geniuses - that helps. Many scientists do amazing stuff, but it just disappears into footnotes and dusty medical journals. If I were masochistic enough, I could spend the rest of my life rescuing scientists. Most of them aren't natural self-promoters.

Deborah Blum

I wasn't the cutest or the most talented, but I could get through the question-and-answer period.

Oprah Winfrey

Before Kuhn, most scientists followed the place-a-stone-in-the-bright-temple-of-knowledge tradition, and would have told you that they hoped, above all, to lay many of the bricks, perhaps even the keystone, of truth's temple. Now most scientists of vision hope to foment revolution. We are, therefore, awash in revolutions, most self-proclaimed.

Stephen Jay Gould

Empathically accurate perceivers are those who are consistently good at 'reading' other people's thoughts and feelings. All else being equal, they are likely to be the most tactful advisors, the most diplomatic officials, the most effective negotiators, the most electable politicians, the most productive salespersons, the most successful teachers, and the most insightful therapists.

William Ickes

The most successful scientists in the history of the world are those who posed the right questions

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Look at France and Didier Deschamps; he was just a guy who just did his job but he was captain of one of France's most successful teams. Then you've got Iker Casillas; he's not into PR or things like that, but he's one of the most successful captains of Spain.

Sol Campbell

That's just my journey in life, to be the most creative and successful and talented person that ever lived.

Patti Harrison

You don't have to be the biggest, the strongest, or the most talented player to be successful, but you do need to be a step ahead of the competition.

Cathy Engelbert

I don't believe the most successful people are the ones who got the best grades, got into the best schools, or made the most money.

Ben Stein

Scientists appear most often in horror movies. Through childlike curiosity or God-defying hubris, they unleash destructive forces they can't control - 'Forbidden Planet's Monsters of the Id.
