Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Albert Einstein
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
The microbe is so very small: You cannot take him out at all.
Belloc, Hilaire

2.
Neurophysiologists will not likely find what they are looking for, for that which they are looking for is that which is looking.
Floyd, Keith

3.
Science is always wrong, it never solves a problem without creating ten more.
Shaw, George Bernard

4.
He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes.
Proverb, Chinese

5.
Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.
Clarke, Arthur C.

6.
Honor is the moral conscience of the great.
D'Avenant

7.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Noam Chomsky

8.
Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception. I begin to be almost sorry I was born so soon, since I cannot have the happiness of knowing what will be known a hundred years hence.
Franklin, Benjamin

9.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague

10.
Science, which cuts its way through the muddy pond of daily life without mingling with it, casts its wealth to right and left, but the puny boatmen do not know how to fish for it.
Herzen, Alexander

11.
There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its length: a quiet conscience.
Euripides

12.
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

13.
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience.
Santayana, George

14.
There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a clear conscience or none at all.
Nash, Ogden

15.
Isn't it marvelous how those scientists know the names of all those stars?

16.
Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
Harrison Ford

17.
What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film? With the whole universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the parlor table, back into a nice safe hide hole, along with Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luke Skywalker and the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there's a message there, I don't think I want to hear it.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

18.
When I contemplate the accumulation of guilt and remorse which, like a garbage-can, I carry through life, and which is fed not only by the lightest action but by the most harmless pleasure, I feel Man to be of all living things the most biologically incompetent and ill-organized. Why has he acquired a seventy years life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?
Connolly, Cyril

19.
Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers.
Sir Arthur Eddington

20.
The puritanical potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of decency. The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.
Lewis, Wyndham

21.
The negative cautions of science are never popular. If the experimentalist would not commit himself, the social philosopher, the preacher, and the pedagogue tried the harder to give a short-cut answer.
Mead, Margaret

22.
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
Dewey, John

23.
The Non-Conformist Conscience makes cowards of us all.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

24.
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

25.
Conscience is the window of our spirit, evil is the curtain.
Horton, Doug

26.
A seared conscience is one whose warning voice has been suppressed and perverted habitually, so that eventually instead of serving as a guide, it only confirms the person in his premeditatedly evil course.
Little, Robert J.

27.
Science is analytical, descriptive, informative. Man does not live by bread alone, but by science he attempts to do so. Hence the deadliness of all that is purely scientific.
Gill, Eric

28.
There is an insistent tendency among serious social scientists to think of any institution which features rhymed and singing commercials, intense and lachrymose voices urging highly improbable enjoyment, caricatures of the human esophagus in normal and impaired operation, and which hints implausibly at opportunities for antiseptic seduction as inherently trivial. This is a great mistake. The industrial system is profoundly dependent on commercial television and could not exist in its present form without it.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

29.
Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.
Valery, Paul

30.
In science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not the man to whom the idea first occurs.
Sir Francis Darwin

31.
Conscience -- the only incorruptible thing about us.
Fielding, Henry

32.
Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.
Connolly, Cyril

33.
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. Biochemistry is the study of carbon compounds that crawl.
Adams, Mike

34.
The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.
Didion, Joan

35.
Whatever the scientists may say, if we take the supernatural out of life, we leave only the unnatural.
Barr, Amelia E.

36.
Faith is a fine invention when Gentleman can see -- but microscopes are prudent in an emergency
Dickinson, Emily

37.
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

38.
When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won't one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic.
Rostand, Jean

39.
Nevertheless, in order to imbue civilization with sound principles and enliven it with the spirit of the gospel, it is not enough to be illumined with the gift of faith and enkindled with the desire of forwarding a good cause. For this end it is necessary to take an active part in the various organizations and influence them from within. And since our present age is one of outstanding scientific and technical progress and excellence, one will not be able to enter these organizations and work effectively from within unless he is scientifically competent, technically capable and skilled in the practice of his own profession.
Pope John XXIII

40.
In the depths of every heart, there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forget their existence, and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide. But sometimes, and oftenest at midnight, those dark receptacles are flung wide open. In an hour like this, when the mind has a passive sensibility, but no active strength; when the imagination is a mirror, imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of selecting or controlling them; then pray that your grieves may slumber, and the brotherhood of remorse not break their chain.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

41.
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.
Foucault, Michel

42.
Since we are assured that the all-wise Creator has observed the most exact proportions of number, weight and measure in the make of all things, the most likely way therefore to get any insight into the nature of those parts of the Creation which come within our observation must in all reason be to number, weigh and measure.
Hales, Stephen

43.
Conscience is a man's compass.
Gogh, Vincent Van

44.
Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.
Russell, Bertrand

45.
One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
Pope, Alexander

46.
It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.
Konrad Lorenz

47.
In science men have discovered an activity of the very highest value in which they are no longer, as in art, dependent for progress upon the appearance of continually greater genius, for in science the successors stand upon the shoulders of their predecessors; where one man of supreme genius has invented a method, a thousand lesser men can apply it.
Russell, Bertrand

48.
There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

49.
For undemocratic reasons and for motives not of State, they arrive at their conclusions -- largely inarticulate. Being void of self-expression they confide their views to none; but sometimes in a smoking room, one learns why things were done.
Kipling, Rudyard

50.
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
