I never expect to see a perfect work from imperfect man.

Summary

This quote suggests that perfection cannot be achieved by imperfect individuals. It acknowledges the inherent flaws and limitations that exist in human beings, emphasizing that one should not expect flawless or faultless work from them.

Thus, the quote sets a reminder to have realistic expectations and understanding of human capabilities and limitations. Overall, it emphasizes the importance of accepting imperfections and striving for progress rather than striving for unattainable perfection.

I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.

A patient going to a doctor for his first visit was asked, And whom did you consult before coming to me? Only the village druggist, was the answer. And what sort of foolish advice did that numbskull give you? asked the doctor, his tone and manner denoting his contempt for the advice of the layman.

I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy. I was deprived. (Oh not deprived but rather underprivileged.) Then they told me that underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.
