Science

Science is always wrong, it never solves a problem without creating ten more.
- Shaw, George Bernard
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
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

2.
The microbe is so very small: You cannot take him out at all.
Belloc, Hilaire

3.
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

4.
A bad conscience has a very good memory

5.
That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
Bronowski, Jacob

6.
If politicians and scientist were lazier, how much happier we should all be.
Waugh, Evelyn

7.
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

8.
The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions.
Ruskin, John

9.
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

10.
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.
Foucault, Michel

11.
Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man.
Bronowski, Jacob

12.
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

13.
There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its length: a quiet conscience.
Euripides

14.
Science is spectral analysis. Art is light synthesis.
Kraus, Karl

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Neurophysiologists will not likely find what they are looking for, for that which they are looking for is that which is looking.
Floyd, Keith

20.
Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

21.
Researchers, with science as their authority, will be able to cut [Animals] up, alive, into small pieces, drop them from a great height to see if they are shattered by the fall, or deprive them of sleep for sixteen days and nights continuously for the purposes of an iniquitous monograph... Animal trust, undeserved faith, when at last will you turn away from us? Shall we never tire of deceiving, betraying, tormenting animals before they cease to trust us?
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

22.
My conscience aches but it's going to lose the fight.
Myles, Allanah

23.
Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
Richard Feynman

24.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King Jr.

25.
The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
Teller, Edward

26.
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
Arthur C. Clarke

27.
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

28.
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

29.
The product of mental labor -- science -- always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.
Marx, Karl

30.
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
Dante Alighieri

31.
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

32.
We are living now, not in the delicious intoxication induced by the early successes of science, but in a rather grisly morning-after, when it has become apparent that what triumphant science has done hitherto is to improve the means for achieving unimproved or actually deteriorated ends.
Huxley, Aldous

33.
A man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
Hobbes, Thomas

34.
Science rests on reason and experiment, and can meet an opponent with calmness; but a belief is always sensitive.
Froude, James A.

35.
The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

36.
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

37.
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

38.
There comes a time when every scientist, even God, has to write off an experiment.
James, P. D.

39.
Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

40.
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
Dewey, John

41.
While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

42.
He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes.
Proverb, Chinese

43.
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund

44.
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

45.
But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.
Artaud, Antonin

46.
The mythology of science asserts that with many different scientists all asking their own questions and evaluating the answers independently, whatever personal bias creeps into their individual answers is cancelled out when the large picture is put together. This might conceivably be so if scientists were women and men from all sorts of different cultural and social backgrounds who came to science with very different ideologies and interests. But since, in fact, they have been predominantly university-trained white males from privileged social backgrounds, the bias has been narrow and the product often reveals more about the investigator than about the subject being researched.
Hubbard, Ruth

47.
Whatever the scientists may say, if we take the supernatural out of life, we leave only the unnatural.
Barr, Amelia E.

48.
Man lives for science as well as bread.
James, William

49.
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

50.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
Ernest Rutherford
