Science

We have genuflected before the god of science only to find that it has given us the atomic bomb, producing fears and anxieties that science can never mitigate.
- King Jr. Martin Luther
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
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

2.
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience.
Santayana, George

3.
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.
Foucault, Michel

4.
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur

5.
There comes a time when every scientist, even God, has to write off an experiment.
James, P. D.

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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.

9.
Science is simply common sense at its best--that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
Huxley, Thomas H.

10.
The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

11.
The true science and study of man, is man himself.
Charron, Pierre

12.
That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
Bronowski, Jacob

13.
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

14.
The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
Lee, Harper

15.
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

16.
Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
Pascal, Blaise

17.
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won t.

18.
Rules of society are nothing; ones conscience is the umpire.
Dudevant, Madame

19.
Thus will the fondest dream of Phallic science be realized: a pristine new planet populated entirely by little boy clones of great scientific entrepreneurs free to smash atoms, accelerate particles, or, if they are so moved, build pyramids -- without any social relevance or human responsibility at all.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

20.
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

21.
Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
Sontag, Susan

22.
If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man's conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed.
Francis of Assisi, St.

23.
My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, and every tongue brings in a several tale, and every tale condemns me for a villain.
Shakespeare, William

24.
There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
Sophocles

25.
Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science.
Marx, Karl

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund

29.
Man has to awaken to wonder -- and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

30.
The great tragedy of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Huxley, Thomas H.

31.
Science is what you know, philosophy what you don't know.
Russell, Bertrand

32.
Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Carlyle, Thomas

33.
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

34.
I hate science. It denies a man's responsibility for his own deeds, abolishes the brotherhood that springs from God's fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal by contrast. It is far easier for a Hitler or a Stalin to find a mock-scientific excuse for persecution than it was for Dominic to find a mock-Christian one.
Bunting, Basil

35.
People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.
James, Henry

36.
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.
Rostand, Jean

37.
The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.
Klee, Paul

38.
Science is but an image of the truth.
Bacon, Francis

39.
The beginning of compunction is the beginning of a new life.
Eliot, George

40.
Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
Harrison Ford

41.
The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

42.
No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.
Bronowski, Jacob

43.
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

44.
If politicians and scientist were lazier, how much happier we should all be.
Waugh, Evelyn

45.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

46.
Science is Christian, not when it condemns itself to the letter of things, but when, in the infinitely little, it discovers as many mysteries and as much depth and power as in the infinitely great.
Quinet, Edgar

47.
Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!
Nietzsche, Friedrich

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
