Accident is a nonsense term — in a world without purposes the word 'accident' carries no meaning.

The Accident is always better when it happens to others — each one that happens to others is one you avoided.

The Accident mostly happens accidentally.

Accident is a condition where presence of mind is good, but absence of body is better.

A Discovery is great, if it is a fact whose appearance in science gives rise to shining ideas, whose light dispels many obscurities and shows us new paths.

Discovery is secondary to persuasion — In science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.

Discovery is seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.

Discovery is the ability to be puzzled by simple things.
