And I venture to predict that after all the huzzas have been uttered and  the public acclaim is but a memory, you will derive the greatest  satisfaction from the serene knowledge that you have discovered new  truths. You can say to yourself: this I saw, this I experienced, this I  know to be the truth. This experience is a precious thing; it is known  to all researchers, in whatever field of endeavour, who have ventured  into the unknown and have discovered new truths.
