Motivational Quotes

Science

Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. Nearly all men of science, all men of learning for that matter, and men of simple ways too, have it in some form and in some degree. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission. If we abandon that mission under stress we shall abandon it forever, for stress will not cease. Knowledge for the sake of understanding, not merely to prevail, that is the essence of our being. None can define its limits, or set its ultimate boundaries.
- Bush, Vannevar
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
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

2.
Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated.
George Santayana

3.
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

4.
Truth in science can best be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.
Lorenz, Konrad

5.
I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it.
Nash, Ogden

6.
Man has to awaken to wonder -- and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

7.
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

8.
Conscience: self-esteem with a halo.
Layton, Irving

9.
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

10.
There's not a whole lot of new atoms out there.
McDonough, Denny

11.
The chief prerequisite for a escort is to have a flexible conscience and an inflexible politeness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of

12.
It is sometimes important for science to know how to forget the things she is surest of.
Rostand, Jean

13.
There is not much that even the most socially responsible scientists can do as individuals, or even as a group, about the social consequences of their activities.
Hobsbawm, E. J.

14.
Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

15.
I feel bad that I don't feel worse.
Frayn, Michael

16.
Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.
Clarke, Arthur C.

17.
In science,'fact'can only mean'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.'I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
Stephen Jay Gould

18.
Conscience does make cowards of us all.
Shakespeare, William

19.
Everywhere you look in science, the harder it becomes to understand the universe without God.
Herrman, Robert

20.
The puritanical potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of decency. The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.
Lewis, Wyndham

21.
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

22.
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

23.
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
Richard Feynman

24.
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

25.
There comes a time when every scientist, even God, has to write off an experiment.
James, P. D.

26.
The innocent seldom find an uncomfortable pillow.
Cowper, William

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

29.
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

30.
If the study of all these sciences which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed.
Plato

31.
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

32.
Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.
Bronowski, Jacob

33.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague

34.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

35.
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

36.
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

37.
The microbe is so very small: You cannot take him out at all.
Belloc, Hilaire

38.
Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense experience correspond to a logically uniform system of thought.
Einstein, Albert

39.
If it can't be expressed in figures, it's not science it's opinion.
Long, Lazarus

40.
Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!
Nietzsche, Friedrich

41.
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.

42.
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

43.
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. Biochemistry is the study of carbon compounds that crawl.
Adams, Mike

44.
Science is what you know, philosophy what you don't know.
Russell, Bertrand

45.
Science is a game we play with God, to find out what his rules are.
Krasel, Cornelius

46.
In science men have discovered an activity of the very highest value in which they are no longer, as in art, dependent for progress upon the appearance of continually greater genius, for in science the successors stand upon the shoulders of their predecessors; where one man of supreme genius has invented a method, a thousand lesser men can apply it.
Russell, Bertrand

47.
The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.
Churchill, Winston

48.
The more we learn of science, the more we see that its wonderful mysteries are all explained by a few simple laws so connected together and so dependent upon each other, that we see the same mind animating them all.
Brown, Olympia

49.
The true science and study of man, is man himself.
Charron, Pierre

50.
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.
