Famous quotes containing the words research and/or experiments:

    “One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)

    “My experiments did not turn out quite like yours, Henry. But science, like love, has her little surprises.”
    —William Hurlbut (1883–?)
