Science

There is not much that even the most socially responsible scientists can do as individuals, or even as a group, about the social consequences of their activities.
- Hobsbawm, E. J.
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
Conscience was the barmaid of the Victorian soul. Recognizing that human beings were fallible and that their failings, though regrettable, must be humored, conscience would permit, rather ungraciously perhaps, the indulgence of a number of carefully selected desires.
Joad, C. E. M.

2.
Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.
Valery, Paul

3.
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

4.
Conscience is a man's compass.
Gogh, Vincent Van

5.
Conscience does make cowards of us all.
Shakespeare, William

6.
In science, all facts no matter how trivial, enjoy democratic equality.
Mccarthy, Mary

7.
The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.
Levi, Primo

8.
Neurophysiologists will not likely find what they are looking for, for that which they are looking for is that which is looking.
Floyd, Keith

9.
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

10.
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

11.
The more we learn of science, the more we see that its wonderful mysteries are all explained by a few simple laws so connected together and so dependent upon each other, that we see the same mind animating them all.
Brown, Olympia

12.
Science is a game we play with God, to find out what his rules are.
Krasel, Cornelius

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

14.
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.

15.
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

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

17.
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

18.
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Byron, Lord

19.
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
Richard Feynman

20.
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

21.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Noam Chomsky

22.
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund

23.
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

24.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague

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

27.
The beginning of compunction is the beginning of a new life.
Eliot, George

28.
The true science and study of man, is man himself.
Charron, Pierre

29.
Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.
Braque, Georges

30.
There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
Sophocles

31.
Science is all metaphor.
Leary, Timothy

32.
Science rests on reason and experiment, and can meet an opponent with calmness; but a belief is always sensitive.
Froude, James A.

33.
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell

34.
The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

35.
Reason often makes mistakes, but conscience never does.
Billings, Josh

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
Conscience -- the only incorruptible thing about us.
Fielding, Henry

39.
There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

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.
Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

42.
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.

43.
If we knew all the laws of Nature, we should need only one fact, or the description of one actual phenomenon, to infer all the particular results at that point. Now we know only a few laws, and our result is vitiated, not, of course, by any confusion or irregularity in Nature, but by our ignorance of essential elements in the calculation. Our notions of law and harmony are commonly confined to those instances which we detect; but the harmony which results from a far greater number of seemingly conflicting, but really concurring, laws, which we have not detected, is still more wonderful. The particular laws are as our points of view, as, to the traveler, a mountain outline varies with every step, and it has an infinite number of profiles, though absolutely but one form. Even when cleft or bored through it is not comprehended in its entireness.
Thoreau, Henry David

44.
If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

45.
In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.
Quincey, Thomas De

46.
A man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
Hobbes, Thomas

47.
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

48.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

49.
The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

50.
That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
Bronowski, Jacob
