Today is the birthday of Jonas E. Salk (October 28, 1914 – June 23, 1995), medical researcher and virologist. He is best known for his discovery and development of the first safe and effective polio vaccine."Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality."
- Jonas Salk
"What is … important is that we — number one: Learn to live with each other. Number two: try to bring out the best in each other. The best from the best, and the best from those who, perhaps, might not have the same endowment. And so this bespeaks an entirely different philosophy — a different way of life — a different kind of relationship — where the object is not to put down the other, but to raise up the other."
- Jonas Salk
"Now, some people might look at something and let it go by, because they don't recognize the pattern and the significance. It's the sensitivity to pattern recognition that seems to me to be of great importance. It's a matter of being able to find meaning, whether it's positive or negative, in whatever you encounter. It's like a journey. It's like finding the paths that will allow you to go forward, or that path that has a block that tells you to start over again or do something else."
- Jonas Salk
"I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams."
- Jonas Salk
“I feel that the greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more.”
- Jonas Salk
"Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next."
- Jonas Salk
