Vast is the field of Science. The more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science, but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature.
Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing.
If we look at the realm of knowledge, how exceedingly small and limited is that part acquired through our own senses; how wide is that we gain from other sources.
Fortunately, nature is as generous with its problems as Nobel with his fortune. The more we know, the more aware we are of what we know not.
From time immemorial, man has desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of as few elementary concepts as possible.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.
The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don't expect.
We will always have more to discover, more to invent, more to understand and that's much closer to art and literature than any science.
So vast is art, so narrow human wit.
