Ignacy Domeyko quotes

Ignacy Domeyko was a Polish geologist, mineralogist, and educator who made significant contributions in Chile. His work in science and education greatly influenced the development of mining and academic institutions in South America. He became a respected figure both in his homeland and in Chile, where his legacy endures. Here is 1 of his quotes:

I can still feel within me the strength and readiness for hardship and suffering, yet I would like to live long enough to see the day when I might freely work for Poland, and not wander aimlessly through God knows what land. [...] And if death finds me working on alien soil, this too will not be without profit for Poland, particularly if among some distant tribe, the farthest possible from our country, they will remember a Pole, will wish Poland well, and will be supportive toward her. (Ignacy Domeyko)
