No one nor anything can silence me..

The magnitude of the atomic weight determines the character of the element, just as the magnitude of the molecule determines the character of a compo….

There exists everywhere a medium in things, determined by equilibrium..

It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this r….

The edifice of science not only requires material, but also a plan. Without the material, the plan alone is but a castle in the air-a mere possibilit….

Why do they [Americans] quarrel, why do they hate Negroes, Indians, even Germans, why do they not have science and poetry commensurate with themselve….

I have to talk like this! It`s my job.

Work, look for peace and calm in work: you will find it nowhere else..

The elements, if arranged according to their atomic weights, exhibit an apparent periodicity of properties..

We must expect the discovery of many as yet unknown elements-for example, elements analogous to aluminum and silicon- whose atomic weight would be be….

The establishment of a law, moreover, does not take place when the first thought of it takes form, or even when its significance is recognised, but o….

I saw in a dream a table where all the elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper..

The most all penetrating spirit before which will open the possibility of tilting not tables, but planets, is the spirit of free human inquiry. Belie….

Knowing how contented, free, and joyful is life in the world of science, one fervently wishes that many would enter its portals..

Work, look for peace and calm in work: You will find it nowhere else. Pleasures flit by -- they are only for yourself; work leaves a mark of long-las….

No law of nature, however general, has been established all at once; its recognition has always been preceded by many presentiments..

Certain characteristic properties of elements can be foretold from their atomic weights..

If all the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights, a periodic repetition of properties is obtained. This is expressed by the law ….

When the elements are arranged in vertical columns according to increasing atomic weight, so that the horizontal lines contain analogous elements aga….

There is nothing in this world that I fear to say..

I have achieved an inner freedom..
