Ivan Pavlov

Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin. ↗

It is not accidental that all phenomena of human life are dominated by the search for daily bread - the oldest link connecting all living things, man included, with the surrounding nature. ↗

Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise. ↗

While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. ↗

Appetite, craving for food, is a constant and powerful stimulator of the gastric glands. ↗

As was to be expected, the discovery of the nervous apparatus of the salivary glands immediately impelled physiologists to seek a similar apparatus in other glands lying deeper in the digestive canal. ↗

But man has still another powerful resource: natural science with its strictly objective methods. ↗

From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands. ↗

Only by observing this condition would the results of our work be regarded as fully conclusive and as having elucidated the normal course of the phenomena. ↗

Our experiments not only proved the existence of a nervous apparatus in the above-mentioned glands, but also disclosed some facts clearly showing the participation of these nerves in normal activity. ↗
