Science

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
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails.
Einstein, Albert

2.
Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

3.
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

4.
Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience.
Lippmann, Walter

5.
Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.
Connolly, Cyril

6.
The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

7.
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.
Rostand, Jean

8.
Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.
Bancroft, George

9.
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

10.
Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience
Washington, George

11.
Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
Harrison Ford

12.
Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
Sontag, Susan

13.
Science is simply common sense at its best--that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
Huxley, Thomas H.

14.
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.

15.
While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

16.
The innocent seldom find an uncomfortable pillow.
Cowper, William

17.
There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

18.
Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual sense of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtle than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.
Powers, Richard

19.
Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.
Popper, Karl

20.
A clear conscience is a soft pillow.
Proverb, German

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.
Ballard, J. G.

24.
When I am in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a drawing room full of dukes.
Auden, W. H.

25.
Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.
Braque, Georges

26.
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

27.
The most heated defenders of a science, who cannot endure the slightest sneer at it, are commonly those who have not made very much progress in it and are secretly aware of this defect.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

28.
The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts.
Ehrlich, Paul

29.
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

30.
The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
Teller, Edward

31.
In everything that relates to science, I am a whole Encyclopaedia behind the rest of the world.
Lamb, Charles

32.
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

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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.

36.
A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life.
Collingwood, Robin G.

37.
Conscience is the dog that can't bite, but never stops barking.
Proverb

38.
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.

39.
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.
Foucault, Michel

40.
Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man.
Bronowski, Jacob

41.
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

42.
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund

43.
True science investigates and brings to human perception such truths and such knowledge as the people of a given time and society consider most important. Art transmits these truths from the region of perception to the region of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

44.
Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.
Diderot, Denis

45.
A man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
Hobbes, Thomas

46.
Where everything is possible miracles become commonplaces, but the familiar ceases to be self-evident.
Hoffer, Eric

47.
When we say science we can either mean any manipulation of the inventive and organizing power of the human intellect: or we can mean such an extremely different thing as the religion of science, the vulgarized derivative from this pure activity manipulated by a sort of priestcraft into a great religious and political weapon.
Lewis, Wyndham

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.
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

50.
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
