Plato 429 BC - 347 BC "Those who intend on becoming great should love neither themselves or their own things, but only what is just, whether it happens to be done by themselves or others." Wonder, learn
"If the study of all these sciences which we have enumerated,
should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach
us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent
treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the
labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed."
Aristotle 384 BC - 322 BC "It was through the feeling of wonder that men now and at first began to philosophize." Teach
Archimedes 287 BC - 212 BC Experiment
