Good parents give their children Roots and Wings. Roots to know where home is, wings to fly away and exercise what's been taught them.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

If all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish.

I couldn't possibly have become a member of this Institute, you know, if I hadn't organized it myself.

Charlotte's Web Life is magic, the way nature works seems to be quite magical.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

In my view, art and the appro...

In my view, art and the approach to life through art, using it as a vehicle for education and even for doing science is so vital that it is part of a great new revolution that is taking place. I believe we are entering a whole new epoch.

The people - could you patent the sun ?

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

If humankind would accept and...

If humankind would accept and acknowledge this responsibility and become creatively engaged in the process of evolution, consciously as well as unconsciously, a new reality would emerge, and a new age could be born.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

What is … important is that w...

What is … important is that we — number one: Learn to live with each other. Number two: try to bring out the best in each other. The best from the best, and the best from those who, perhaps, might not have the same endowment. And so this bespeaks an entirely different philosophy — a different way of life — a different kind of relationship — where the object is not to put down the other, but to raise up the other.

When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine, you don't sleep well for two or three months.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

Nothing happens quite by chan...

Nothing happens quite by chance. It's a question of accretion of information and experience ... it's just chance that I happened to be here at this particular time when there was available and at my disposal the great experience of all the investigators who plodded along for a number of years.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

It is courage based on confidence, not daring, and it is confidence based on experience.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

I look upon ourselves as part...

I look upon ourselves as partners in all of this, and that each of us contributes and does what he can do best. And so I see not a top rung and a bottom rung - I see all this horizontally - and I see this as part of a matrix. And I see every human being as having a purpose, a destiny, if you like - the destiny that exists in each of us - and find ways and means to provide such opportunities for everyone.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

As a bio-philosopher - as som...

As a bio-philosopher - as someone who draws upon the scriptures of nature, recognizing that we are the product of the process of evolution, and in a sense, we have become the process itself - through the emergence and evolution of our consciousness, our awareness, our capacity to imagine and to anticipate the future and to choose from amongst alternatives.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

You can have a team of unconv...

You can have a team of unconventional thinkers, as well as conventional thinkers. If you don't have the support of others you cannot achieve anything altogether on your own. It's like a cry in the wilderness. In each instance there were others who could see the same thing, and there were others who could not. It's an obvious difference we see in those who you might say have a bird's eye view, and those who have a worm's eye view. I've come to realize that we all have a different mind set, we all see things differently, and that's what the human condition is really all about.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

What is ... important is that we - number one: Learn to live with each other. Number two: try to bring out the best in each other.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

Wisdom: It's something that y...

Wisdom: It's something that you know when you see it. You can recognize it, you can experience it. I have defined wisdom as the capacity to make judgments that when looked back upon will seem to have been wise.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

What you see in living system...

What you see in living systems, and in genetic systems, is that the genes are already there, having arisen in the course of time, and when they are needed they become activated. If they had to be invented, the time would be too late.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

If all insects disappeared, all life on earth would perish. If all humans disappeared, all life on earth would flourish.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

I do what I feel impelled to ...

I do what I feel impelled to do, as an artist would. Scientists function in the same way. I see all these as creative activities, as all part of the process of discovery. Perhaps that's one of the characteristics of what I call the evolvers, any subset of the population who keep things moving in a positive, creative, constructive way, revealing the truth and beauty that exists in life and in nature.

Jonas Salk 77 quotes

This is perhaps the most beau...

This is perhaps the most beautiful time in human history; it is really pregnant with all kinds of creative possibilities made possible by science and technology which now constitute the slave of man - if man is not enslaved by it.
