Frederick Banting

Insulin is not a cure for diabetes; it is a treatment. It allows the diabetic to live, and to live a useful life, but it is not a cure.

The discovery of insulin was not the work of one man, but the result of the combined efforts of many.

It is not the quantity of the work, but the quality of the work that is important.

I have seen the face of death, and I have seen the face of life. I prefer life.

The greatest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

The most important thing is to never stop questioning.

The true spirit of discovery is not to find new lands, but to see with new eyes.

I am not a hero. I am just a man who did his job.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.
