I Believe That Gandhi’s Views Were The

I Take It To Be True That Pure Thought Can Grasp The Real, As The Ancients Had Dreamed.

When I Was Still A Rather Precocious Young Man, I Already Realized Most Vividly The Futility Of The Hopes And Aspirations That Most Men Pursue Throughout Their Lives.

I Fully Agree With You About The Significance And Educational Value Of As Well As History And Philosophy Of Science. So Many People Today - And Even Professional - Seem To Me Like Someone Who Has Seen Thousands Of Trees But Has Never Seen A Forest. A Knowledge Of The Historic And Philosophical Background Gives That Kind Of Independence From Prejudices Of His Generation From Which Most Scientists Are Suffering. This Independence Created By Philosophical Insight Is - In My Opinion - The Mark Of Distinction Between A Mere Artisan Or Specialist And A Real Seeker After Truth.

Try First To Be A Man Of Value; Success Will Follow.

What Is Essential In The Life Of A Man Of My Kind Is What He Thinks And How He Thinks, And Not What He Does Or Suffers.
