One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

A. A. Milne

The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Eden Phillpotts

The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.

Frank Herbert

I went to a motivational training course once, a course of self-discovery, and I found out after a week that my fear - it was not a fear of not being accepted - was a very violent fear of failure.

Emanuel Steward

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

Alexander Smith

My big running discovery was around Stanley Park in Vancouver. Miss it. That's a six-mile loop. Now I smile when I get four miles done. Age is a beast.

Michael Weatherly

Effective health care depends on self-care; this fact is currently heralded as if it were a discovery.

Ivan Illich

I've made an odd discovery. Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I'm convinced of the opposite.

Bertrand Russell

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.

Billy Corgan

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

Samuel Smiles

NASA projects often have romantic names that link into a long history of exploration and adventure: Atlantis and Discovery, for example.

Hanna Rosin

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.
