Ernest Rutherford

I have always found great joy in scientific discovery.

I am confident that science will continue to advance at a rapid pace.

I am a great admirer of the beauty and order of the natural world.

I am always striving for clarity and simplicity in my explanations.

I have always believed that science should be accessible to everyone.

I am very proud to be a part of the scientific community.

I am always eager to learn from others.

I am convinced that the universe holds many more secrets to be uncovered.

I am going to call it an atom, and I am going to call it a nucleus.

If you have to use three adjectives, you are probably lying.

We've got no money, so we've got to think.

The energy produced by the breaking down of the atom is a very poor kind of thing. Anyone who expects a source of power from the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.

I have been working with radium for a long time, and I have never been able to get a penny out of it.

I am a simple man, I like simple things.

The only way to do good science is to do it yourself.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

There are two kinds of science: physics and stamp collecting.

The future of physics depends on the young men who are coming up.

I have just made a discovery that will revolutionize physics.

It is not enough to be a good scientist, you must also be a good teacher.
