• Se asombrarán cuando les diga a qué equivale este curioso juego del carbono. Una vela arde unas cuatro, cinco, seis o siete horas. Entonces, ¡cuál debe ser la cantidad diaria de carbono que pasa al aire en forma de ácido carbónico! ... Entonces, ¿qué pasa con él? Es maravilloso descubrir que el cambio producido por la respiración... es la vida misma y el sustento de las plantas y vegetales que crecen en la superficie de la tierra.

• When I consider the multitude of associated forces which are diffused through nature - when I think of that calm balancing of their energies which enables those most powerful in themselves, most destructive to the world's creatures and economy, to dwell associated together and be made subservient to the wants of creation, I rise from the contemplation more than ever impressed with the wisdom, the beneficence, and grandeur, beyond our language to express, of the Great Disposer of us all.

• If the term education may be understood in so large a sense as to include all that belongs to the improvement of the mind, either by the acquisition of the knowledge of others or by increase of it through its own exertions, we learn by them what is the kind of education science offers to man. It teaches us to be neglectful of nothing - not to despise the small beginnings, for they precede of necessity all great things in the knowledge of science, either pure or applied.
