Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
Bronowski, Jacob

5.
Man has to awaken to wonder -- and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

6.
Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.
Ivan Pavlov

7.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

8.
In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.
Quincey, Thomas De

9.
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
Dante Alighieri

10.
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

11.
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.
Foucault, Michel

12.
The great tragedy of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Huxley, Thomas H.

13.
Conscience: self-esteem with a halo.
Layton, Irving

14.
Faith is a fine invention when Gentleman can see -- but microscopes are prudent in an emergency
Dickinson, Emily

15.
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Einstein, Albert

16.
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
Richard Feynman

17.
A bad conscience has a very good memory

18.
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

19.
The microbe is so very small: You cannot take him out at all.
Belloc, Hilaire

20.
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

21.
Conscience does make cowards of us all.
Shakespeare, William

22.
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

23.
O Star-eyed Science! hast thou wandered there, to waft us home the message of despair?
Campbell, Thomas

24.
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

25.
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

26.
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience.
Santayana, George

27.
Our ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

28.
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

29.
Men never do evil so fully and cheerfully as when we do it out of conscience.
Pascal, Blaise

30.
Science has always been too dignified to invent a good backscratcher.
Marquis, Don

31.
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.

32.
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

33.
What a man calls his conscience is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.
Rowland, Helen

34.
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

35.
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund

36.
Conscience is the dog that can't bite, but never stops barking.
Proverb

37.
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

38.
Conscience is the voice of the soul; the passions of the body.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

39.
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

40.
Two things fill me with constantly increasing admiration and awe, the longer and more earnestly I reflect on them: the starry heavens without and the moral law within.
Kant, Immanuel

41.
Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.
Lessing, Doris

42.
Isn't it marvelous how those scientists know the names of all those stars?

43.
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

44.
Conscience is thoroughly well-bred and soon leaves off talking to those who do not wish to hear it.
Butler, Samuel

45.
There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
Sophocles

46.
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

47.
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

48.
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right.
Churchill, Winston

49.
Conscience is the window of our spirit, evil is the curtain.
Horton, Doug

50.
I feel bad that I don't feel worse.
Frayn, Michael
