Creative Quotations from Marie Curie ( ) born Nov 7 Polish-French chemist; She was renown for her work on radioactivity and discovering polonium and radium; two time winner of the Nobel Prize.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.

One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done…

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.
