Science

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



Best Quotes about Science

1.
Science rests on reason and experiment, and can meet an opponent with calmness; but a belief is always sensitive.
Froude, James A.

2.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Noam Chomsky

3.
The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos.
Stephen Jay Gould

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Conscience does make cowards of us all.
Shakespeare, William

7.
One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
Pope, Alexander

8.
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

9.
Isn't it marvelous how those scientists know the names of all those stars?

10.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Henri Poincare

11.
Science is all metaphor.
Leary, Timothy

12.
O Star-eyed Science! hast thou wandered there, to waft us home the message of despair?
Campbell, Thomas

13.
In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.
Quincey, Thomas De

14.
Science knows only one commandment -- contribute to science.
Brecht, Bertolt

15.
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

16.
Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

17.
Faith is a fine invention when Gentleman can see -- but microscopes are prudent in an emergency
Dickinson, Emily

18.
While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

19.
What a man calls his conscience is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.
Rowland, Helen

20.
Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.
Popper, Karl

21.
A man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
Hobbes, Thomas

22.
It is sometimes important for science to know how to forget the things she is surest of.
Rostand, Jean

23.
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won t.

24.
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

25.
Conscience is a man's compass.
Gogh, Vincent Van

26.
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
Dante Alighieri

27.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King Jr.

28.
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
Dewey, John

29.
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

30.
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

31.
There comes a time when every scientist, even God, has to write off an experiment.
James, P. D.

32.
There's not a whole lot of new atoms out there.
McDonough, Denny

33.
Science is the century-old endeavor to bring together by means of systematic thought the perceptible phenomena of this world into as thorough-going an association as possible.
Einstein, Albert

34.
Conscience -- the only incorruptible thing about us.
Fielding, Henry

35.
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

36.
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

37.
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. Biochemistry is the study of carbon compounds that crawl.
Adams, Mike

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don't know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.
Weil, Simone

42.
A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life.
Collingwood, Robin G.

43.
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

44.
Neurophysiologists will not likely find what they are looking for, for that which they are looking for is that which is looking.
Floyd, Keith

45.
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

46.
The conscience is the most flexible material in the world. Today you cannot stretch it over a mole hill; while tomorrow it can hide a mountain.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

47.
What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film? With the whole universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the parlor table, back into a nice safe hide hole, along with Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luke Skywalker and the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there's a message there, I don't think I want to hear it.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

48.
Reason often makes mistakes, but conscience never does.
Billings, Josh

49.
Man has to awaken to wonder -- and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

50.
Science is but the exchange of ignorance for that which is another kind of ignorance.
Byron, Lord
