Science

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 Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
Science is Christian, not when it condemns itself to the letter of things, but when, in the infinitely little, it discovers as many mysteries and as much depth and power as in the infinitely great.
Quinet, Edgar

2.
The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.
Klee, Paul

3.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague

4.
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

5.
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell

6.
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

7.
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

8.
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
Einstein, Albert

9.
When I am in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a drawing room full of dukes.
Auden, W. H.

10.
Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
Sontag, Susan

11.
Conscience is thoroughly well-bred and soon leaves off talking to those who do not wish to hear it.
Butler, Samuel

12.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

13.
If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

14.
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

15.
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won t.

16.
Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!
Nietzsche, Friedrich

17.
I know of no department of natural science more likely to reward a man who goes into it thoroughly than anthropology. There is an immense deal to be done in the science pure and simple, and it is one of those branches of inquiry which brings one into contact with the great problems of humanity in every direction.
Huxley, Thomas H.

18.
Our ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

19.
Conscience does make cowards of us all.
Shakespeare, William

20.
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

21.
If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man's conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed.
Francis of Assisi, St.

22.
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

23.
There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its length: a quiet conscience.
Euripides

24.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
Ernest Rutherford

25.
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

26.
The microbe is so very small: You cannot take him out at all.
Belloc, Hilaire

27.
Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.
Roux, Joseph

28.
Conscience is the dog that can't bite, but never stops barking.
Proverb

29.
Neurophysiologists will not likely find what they are looking for, for that which they are looking for is that which is looking.
Floyd, Keith

30.
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

31.
The beginning of compunction is the beginning of a new life.
Eliot, George

32.
Science is all metaphor.
Leary, Timothy

33.
People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.
James, Henry

34.
There comes a time when every scientist, even God, has to write off an experiment.
James, P. D.

35.
Everywhere you look in science, the harder it becomes to understand the universe without God.
Herrman, Robert

36.
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Thomas H. Huxley

37.
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.

38.
The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions.
Ruskin, John

39.
Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.
Clarke, Arthur C.

40.
Science has always been too dignified to invent a good backscratcher.
Marquis, Don

41.
A man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
Hobbes, Thomas

42.
Science knows only one commandment -- contribute to science.
Brecht, Bertolt

43.
Conscience: self-esteem with a halo.
Layton, Irving

44.
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

45.
The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
Lee, Harper

46.
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

47.
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Einstein, Albert

48.
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

49.
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

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
