Science

Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated.
- George Santayana
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
If you look into your own heart, you find nothing wrong there, what is there to fear?
Confucius

2.
Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.
Gourmont, Remy De

3.
There's not a whole lot of new atoms out there.
McDonough, Denny

4.
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

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.
What we call conscience in many instances, is only a wholesome fear of the law.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

7.
A body of work such as Pasteur's is inconceivable in our time: no man would be given a chance to create a whole science. Nowadays a path is scarcely opened up when the crowd begins to pour in.
Rostand, Jean

8.
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

9.
The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.
Lewis Thomas

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

12.
Man lives for science as well as bread.
James, William

13.
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.

14.
Conscience is the sentinel of virtue.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

15.
To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live.
Hubbard, Ruth

16.
Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.
Connolly, Cyril

17.
I know of no department of natural science more likely to reward a man who goes into it thoroughly than anthropology. There is an immense deal to be done in the science pure and simple, and it is one of those branches of inquiry which brings one into contact with the great problems of humanity in every direction.
Huxley, Thomas H.

18.
There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its length: a quiet conscience.
Euripides

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale.
Marie Curie

23.
A man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
Hobbes, Thomas

24.
In science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not the man to whom the idea first occurs.
Sir Francis Darwin

25.
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

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.
Valery, Paul

29.
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

30.
Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.
Valery, Paul

31.
There are no better terms available to describe [The] difference between the approach of the natural and the social sciences than to call the former objective and the latter subjective. ... While for the natural scientist the contrast between objective facts and subjective opinions is a simple one, the distinction cannot as readily be applied to the object of the social sciences. The reason for this is that the object, the facts of the social sciences are also opinions -- not opinions of the student of the social phenomena, of course, but opinions of those whose actions produce the object of the social scientist.
Hayek, Friedrich August Von

32.
Scientists are peeping toms at the keyhole of eternity.
Koestler, Arthur

33.
The true science and study of man, is man himself.
Charron, Pierre

34.
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.

35.
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

36.
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.

37.
The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work.
Neumann, John Von

38.
Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought - particularly for people who can never remember where they left things.
Allen, Woody

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
Harrison Ford

42.
The innocent seldom find an uncomfortable pillow.
Cowper, William

43.
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

44.
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.
Rostand, Jean

45.
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

46.
We grow with years more fragile in body, but morally stutter, and can throw off the chill of a bad conscience almost at once.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

47.
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

48.
Conscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
Cook, Joseph

49.
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

50.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague
