Science

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
- Huxley, Aldous
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
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

2.
Formal symbolic representation of qualitative entities is doomed to its rightful place of minor significance in a world where flowers and beautiful women abound.
Einstein, Albert

3.
In sci-fi convention, life-forms that hadn't developed space travel were mere prehistory -- horse-shoe crabs of the cosmic scene -- and something of the humiliation of being stuck on a provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me ever since.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

4.
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
Einstein, Albert

5.
Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Carlyle, Thomas

6.
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

7.
If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability.
Vannevar Bush

8.
Science is the systematic classification of experience.
Lewes, George Henry

9.
Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.
Valery, Paul

10.
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

11.
Faith is a fine invention when Gentleman can see -- but microscopes are prudent in an emergency
Dickinson, Emily

12.
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

13.
Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

14.
In scientific work, those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact.
Huxley, Thomas H.

15.
If it can't be expressed in figures, it's not science it's opinion.
Long, Lazarus

16.
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

17.
Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.
Roux, Joseph

18.
Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated.
George Santayana

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

22.
Man has to awaken to wonder -- and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

23.
Honor is the moral conscience of the great.
D'Avenant

24.
Conscience is thoroughly well-bred and soon leaves off talking to those who do not wish to hear it.
Butler, Samuel

25.
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.

26.
The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.
Walton, Izaak

27.
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.

28.
The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced -- by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.
Fromm, Erich

29.
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Asimov, Isaac

30.
Rules of society are nothing; ones conscience is the umpire.
Dudevant, Madame

31.
Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.
Diderot, Denis

32.
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

33.
Science rests on reason and experiment, and can meet an opponent with calmness; but a belief is always sensitive.
Froude, James A.

34.
Science is what you know, philosophy what you don't know.
Russell, Bertrand

35.
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

36.
If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

37.
In everything that relates to science, I am a whole Encyclopaedia behind the rest of the world.
Lamb, Charles

38.
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.

39.
He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes.
Proverb, Chinese

40.
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

41.
Conscience is the voice of the soul; the passions of the body.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

42.
A man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
Hobbes, Thomas

43.
Science is but an image of the truth.
Bacon, Francis

44.
Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other -- only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
Parsons, Talcott

45.
If you look into your own heart, you find nothing wrong there, what is there to fear?
Confucius

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
Harrison Ford

49.
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

50.
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur
