Frederick Banting

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

The best revenge is massive success.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

Never regret anything that made you smile.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

Insulin is not a cure for diabetes; it is a life-saving treatment that must be used wisely.

The discovery of insulin was a team effort, not the work of one man alone.

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

Diabetes lurks like a silent thief, stealing health inch by inch until insulin restores the balance.

I have no riches but my thoughts; yet these I have loved from the first.

The greatest joy in life is the knowledge that you have helped alleviate suffering.

Patent the method, not the insulin; let it be free for all who need it.

In the laboratory, failure is the forge that tempers success.

War taught me resilience; science demands it even more.
