Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
A man's conscience, like a warning line on the highway, tells him what he shouldn't do -- but it does not keep him from doing it.
Clark, Frank A.

2.
Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.
Bronowski, Jacob

3.
The beginning of compunction is the beginning of a new life.
Eliot, George

4.
Science has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

5.
What a man calls his conscience is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.
Rowland, Helen

6.
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

7.
The Non-Conformist Conscience makes cowards of us all.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

8.
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
Pasteur, Louis

9.
Conscience does make cowards of us all.
Shakespeare, William

10.
The chief prerequisite for a escort is to have a flexible conscience and an inflexible politeness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of

11.
It doesn't matter whether you're talking about bombs or the intelligence quotients of one race as against another if a man is a scientist, like me, he'll always say Publish and be damned.
Bronowski, Jacob

12.
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Asimov, Isaac

13.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Noam Chomsky

14.
If politicians and scientist were lazier, how much happier we should all be.
Waugh, Evelyn

15.
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won t.

16.
Where everything is possible miracles become commonplaces, but the familiar ceases to be self-evident.
Hoffer, Eric

17.
Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.
Dick, Philip K.

18.
Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.
Braque, Georges

19.
In science,'fact'can only mean'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.'I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
Stephen Jay Gould

20.
Science is the century-old endeavor to bring together by means of systematic thought the perceptible phenomena of this world into as thorough-going an association as possible.
Einstein, Albert

21.
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
Arthur C. Clarke

22.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not'Eureka!'(I found it!) but'That's funny ...'
Isaac Asimov

23.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
Ernest Rutherford

24.
When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails.
Einstein, Albert

25.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

26.
In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.
Quincey, Thomas De

27.
Science is but an image of the truth.
Bacon, Francis

28.
Can a society in which thought and technique are scientific persist for a long period, as, for example, ancient Egypt persisted, or does it necessarily contain within itself forces which must bring either decay or explosion?
Russell, Bertrand

29.
We have genuflected before the god of science only to find that it has given us the atomic bomb, producing fears and anxieties that science can never mitigate.
King Jr. Martin Luther

30.
We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity.
Marie Curie

31.
Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
Gould, Stephen Jay

32.
People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.
James, Henry

33.
If the study of all these sciences which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed.
Plato

34.
The great tragedy of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Huxley, Thomas H.

35.
The innocent seldom find an uncomfortable pillow.
Cowper, William

36.
Man has to awaken to wonder -- and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

37.
That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
Bronowski, Jacob

38.
Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.
Bancroft, George

39.
Neurophysiologists will not likely find what they are looking for, for that which they are looking for is that which is looking.
Floyd, Keith

40.
Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today -- but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
Asimov, Isaac

41.
If it can't be expressed in figures, it's not science it's opinion.
Long, Lazarus

42.
There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery.
Chandler, Raymond

43.
I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.
Carl Sagan

44.
Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.
Popper, Karl

45.
The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.
Klee, Paul

46.
Scientists are peeping toms at the keyhole of eternity.
Koestler, Arthur

47.
The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos.
Stephen Jay Gould

48.
The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

49.
Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best, 20 -- 20 hindsight. It's good for seeing where you've been. It's good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can't tell you where you ought to go.
Pirsig, Robert M.

50.
Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary.
Einstein, Albert
