Science

Everybody's a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We're all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.
- Cronenberg, David
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
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

2.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Noam Chomsky

3.
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Asimov, Isaac

4.
Science knows only one commandment -- contribute to science.
Brecht, Bertolt

5.
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.
Rostand, Jean

6.
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

7.
From man or angel the great Architect did wisely to conceal, and not divulge his secrets to be scanned by them who ought rather admire; or if they list to try conjecture, he his fabric of the heavens left to their disputes, perhaps to move his laughter at their quaint opinions wide hereafter, when they come to model heaven calculate the stars, how they will wield the mighty frame, how build, unbuild, contrive to save appearances, how gird the sphere with centric and eccentric scribbled o'er, and epicycle, orb in orb.
Milton, John

8.
No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.
Bronowski, Jacob

9.
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.

10.
Everywhere you look in science, the harder it becomes to understand the universe without God.
Herrman, Robert

11.
If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.
Bohr, Niels

12.
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.

13.
Science has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

14.
In science, all facts no matter how trivial, enjoy democratic equality.
Mccarthy, Mary

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Faith is a fine invention when Gentleman can see -- but microscopes are prudent in an emergency
Dickinson, Emily

18.
They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.
Burroughs, William S.

19.
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Thomas H. Huxley

20.
Let me arrest thy thoughts; wonder with me, why plowing, building, ruling and the rest, or most of those arts, whence our lives are blest, by cursed Cain's race invented be, and blest Seth vexed us with Astronomy.
Donne, John

21.
Honor is the moral conscience of the great.
D'Avenant

22.
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

23.
The great tragedy of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Huxley, Thomas H.

24.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

25.
The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts.
Ehrlich, Paul

26.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague

27.
Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science
Einstein, Albert

28.
I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled Science Fiction and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

29.
The microbe is so very small: You cannot take him out at all.
Belloc, Hilaire

30.
As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.
M. Cartmill

31.
A man's moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream.
Faulkner, William

32.
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
Dewey, John

33.
Conscience: self-esteem with a halo.
Layton, Irving

34.
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.

35.
Science is but an image of the truth.
Bacon, Francis

36.
It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.
Rostand, Jean

37.
Conscience is the voice of the soul; the passions of the body.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

38.
Isn't it marvelous how those scientists know the names of all those stars?

39.
The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.
Stael, Germaine De

40.
There's not a whole lot of new atoms out there.
McDonough, Denny

41.
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

42.
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
Einstein, Albert

43.
The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions.
Ruskin, John

44.
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience.
Santayana, George

45.
The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.
Walton, Izaak

46.
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund

47.
Science has always been too dignified to invent a good backscratcher.
Marquis, Don

48.
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

49.
The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
Lee, Harper

50.
The conscience is the most flexible material in the world. Today you cannot stretch it over a mole hill; while tomorrow it can hide a mountain.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
