“If a photographic plate under the center of a lens focused on the heavens is exposed for hours, it comes to reveal stars so far away that even the most powerful telescopes fail to reveal them to the naked eye. In a similar way, time and concentration allow the intellect to perceive a ray of light in the darkness of the most complex problem.” IfsWayProblemLightEyeScienceHeavenStarsHoursPowerfulDarknessFailingComplexesIntellectFocusedNakedPerceiveConcentrationMost PowerfulRaysExposedFar AwayPlatesLensesTelescopesDarkness To LightRays Of LightComplex ProblemsNaked Eyes Book:Advice for a Young Investigator Source: Advice for a Young Investigator
“The stately heavens which glory doth array, are mirrors of God's admirable might; there, whence forth spreads the night, forth springs the day. He fix'd the fountains of this temporal light, where stately stars enstall'd, some stand, some stray, all sparks of his great power (though small) yet bright. By what none utter can, no, not conceive. All of his greatness, shadows may perceive.” MayLightMightNightHeavenStarsGreatnessSpringGloryShadowMirrorsSpreadPerceiveSparksFountainAdmirableGreat Power Author:William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling
