Science

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
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
Science is a game we play with God, to find out what his rules are.
Krasel, Cornelius

2.
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

3.
Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.
Braque, Georges

4.
There comes a time when every scientist, even God, has to write off an experiment.
James, P. D.

5.
If you look into your own heart, you find nothing wrong there, what is there to fear?
Confucius

6.
Conscience is the dog that can't bite, but never stops barking.
Proverb

7.
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right.
Churchill, Winston

8.
If politicians and scientist were lazier, how much happier we should all be.
Waugh, Evelyn

9.
There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

10.
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

11.
The Non-Conformist Conscience makes cowards of us all.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

12.
Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception. I begin to be almost sorry I was born so soon, since I cannot have the happiness of knowing what will be known a hundred years hence.
Franklin, Benjamin

13.
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

14.
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

15.
Nevertheless, in order to imbue civilization with sound principles and enliven it with the spirit of the gospel, it is not enough to be illumined with the gift of faith and enkindled with the desire of forwarding a good cause. For this end it is necessary to take an active part in the various organizations and influence them from within. And since our present age is one of outstanding scientific and technical progress and excellence, one will not be able to enter these organizations and work effectively from within unless he is scientifically competent, technically capable and skilled in the practice of his own profession.
Pope John XXIII

16.
I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled Science Fiction and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

17.
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

18.
Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
Gould, Stephen Jay

19.
I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.
Carl Sagan

20.
The true science and study of man, is man himself.
Charron, Pierre

21.
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Asimov, Isaac

22.
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.
Foucault, Michel

23.
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
Einstein, Albert

24.
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

25.
Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.
Popper, Karl

26.
They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.
Burroughs, William S.

27.
Well: what we gain by science is, after all, sadness, as the Preacher saith. The more we know of the laws and nature of the Universe the more ghastly a business we perceive it all to be -- and the non-necessity of it.
Hardy, Thomas

28.
The beginning of compunction is the beginning of a new life.
Eliot, George

29.
There are no better terms available to describe [The] difference between the approach of the natural and the social sciences than to call the former objective and the latter subjective. ... While for the natural scientist the contrast between objective facts and subjective opinions is a simple one, the distinction cannot as readily be applied to the object of the social sciences. The reason for this is that the object, the facts of the social sciences are also opinions -- not opinions of the student of the social phenomena, of course, but opinions of those whose actions produce the object of the social scientist.
Hayek, Friedrich August Von

30.
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

31.
Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.
Valery, Paul

32.
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.
Rostand, Jean

33.
Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best, 20 -- 20 hindsight. It's good for seeing where you've been. It's good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can't tell you where you ought to go.
Pirsig, Robert M.

34.
Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
Sontag, Susan

35.
The chief prerequisite for a escort is to have a flexible conscience and an inflexible politeness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of

36.
Conscience -- the only incorruptible thing about us.
Fielding, Henry

37.
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

38.
Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

39.
There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
Sophocles

40.
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund

41.
I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it.
Nash, Ogden

42.
Conscience is the window of our spirit, evil is the curtain.
Horton, Doug

43.
Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.
Diderot, Denis

44.
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

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.
Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.
Bancroft, George

47.
Conscience was the barmaid of the Victorian soul. Recognizing that human beings were fallible and that their failings, though regrettable, must be humored, conscience would permit, rather ungraciously perhaps, the indulgence of a number of carefully selected desires.
Joad, C. E. M.

48.
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell

49.
Conscience: self-esteem with a halo.
Layton, Irving

50.
Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers.
Sir Arthur Eddington
