GEORGES CUVIER
French naturalist (1769 - 1832)
|
Those who devote themselves to the peaceful study of nature have
but little temptation to launch out upon the tempestuous sea of
ambition; they will scarcely be hurried away by the more violent
or cruel passions, the ordinary failings of those ardent persons
who do not control their conduct; but, pure as the objects of
their researches, they will feel for everything about them the
same benevolence which they see nature display toward all her
productions.
