"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of Nature, and that is because, in the final analysis, we ourselves are a part of the Mystery that we are trying to solve". - Max Planck, Quantum Physicist

The Secrets of Nature
"There is no greater wisdom in human affairs, Than that from which riches and a healthy life come. Her right hand holds a healthy age of long-lasting time, While her left hand conceals heaps of wealth. If anyone approaches her with reason and by hand, The fruit of life for him will be like this tree."
