The Curies Quotes

“The work and the work alone was what mattered and not the individual. (...) He found competition so distasteful that he even opposed school examinations and ranking, as well as all distinctions and honors. Not that he ignored the talent of others. He encouraged and advised those he considered gifted and "was always disposed to aid anyone in a difficult situation and even to give his time, which was the greatest sacrifice he could make".”
