Science

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



Best Quotes about Science

1.
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.

2.
Science, which cuts its way through the muddy pond of daily life without mingling with it, casts its wealth to right and left, but the puny boatmen do not know how to fish for it.
Herzen, Alexander

3.
He had been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put into vials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw, inclement summers.
Swift, Jonathan

4.
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right.
Churchill, Winston

5.
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

6.
The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.
Churchill, Winston

7.
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
Dewey, John

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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts.
Ehrlich, Paul

12.
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

13.
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

14.
No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.
Bronowski, Jacob

15.
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein

16.
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience.
Santayana, George

22.
If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability.
Vannevar Bush

23.
Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Huxley, Aldous

24.
A man's moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream.
Faulkner, William

25.
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Einstein, Albert

26.
Man has to awaken to wonder -- and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

27.
The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
Teller, Edward

28.
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

29.
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

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.
A bad conscience has a very good memory

32.
A body of work such as Pasteur's is inconceivable in our time: no man would be given a chance to create a whole science. Nowadays a path is scarcely opened up when the crowd begins to pour in.
Rostand, Jean

33.
The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

34.
He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes.
Proverb, Chinese

35.
Truth in science can best be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.
Lorenz, Konrad

36.
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.

37.
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

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

39.
In science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not the man to whom the idea first occurs.
Sir Francis Darwin

40.
Conscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
Cook, Joseph

41.
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

42.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
Ernest Rutherford

43.
The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
Lee, Harper

44.
Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!
Nietzsche, Friedrich

45.
Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

46.
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

47.
Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.
Roux, Joseph

48.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

49.
That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
Bronowski, Jacob

50.
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
