Motivational Quotes
Science
There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right.

Best Quotes about Science
Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.
Gourmont, Remy De
Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought - particularly for people who can never remember where they left things.
Allen, Woody
The innocent seldom find an uncomfortable pillow.
Cowper, William
Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
Sontag, Susan
Neurophysiologists will not likely find what they are looking for, for that which they are looking for is that which is looking.
Floyd, Keith
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
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
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.
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
Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense experience correspond to a logically uniform system of thought.
Einstein, Albert
Conscience is the window of our spirit, evil is the curtain.
Horton, Doug
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
It doesn't matter whether you're talking about bombs or the intelligence quotients of one race as against another if a man is a scientist, like me, he'll always say Publish and be damned.
Bronowski, Jacob
Science has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.
Diderot, Denis
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur
The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work.
Neumann, John Von
Conscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
Cook, Joseph
Our ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan
The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
Lee, Harper
Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
Harrison Ford
Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.
Roux, Joseph
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
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
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
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
Dewey, John
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund
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
Can a society in which thought and technique are scientific persist for a long period, as, for example, ancient Egypt persisted, or does it necessarily contain within itself forces which must bring either decay or explosion?
Russell, Bertrand
In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.
Quincey, Thomas De
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
The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts.
Ehrlich, Paul
Honor is the moral conscience of the great.
D'Avenant
Science is what you know, philosophy what you don't know.
Russell, Bertrand
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
Dante Alighieri
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Einstein, Albert
What we call conscience in many instances, is only a wholesome fear of the law.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.
Lamartine, Alphonse De
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
The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
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
Science is always wrong, it never solves a problem without creating ten more.
Shaw, George Bernard
If they don't depend on true evidence, scientists are no better than gossips.
Fitzgerald, Penelope
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Asimov, Isaac
The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
A clear conscience is a soft pillow.
Proverb, German
Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today -- but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
Asimov, Isaac
Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.
Braque, Georges
