Science

The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.
- Klee, Paul
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
Faith is a fine invention when Gentleman can see -- but microscopes are prudent in an emergency
Dickinson, Emily

2.
The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.
Didion, Joan

3.
The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.
Churchill, Winston

4.
Conscience is the window of our spirit, evil is the curtain.
Horton, Doug

5.
The negative cautions of science are never popular. If the experimentalist would not commit himself, the social philosopher, the preacher, and the pedagogue tried the harder to give a short-cut answer.
Mead, Margaret

6.
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

7.
Science has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

8.
Honor is the moral conscience of the great.
D'Avenant

9.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King Jr.

10.
Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other -- only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
Parsons, Talcott

11.
Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.
Bancroft, George

12.
Since we are assured that the all-wise Creator has observed the most exact proportions of number, weight and measure in the make of all things, the most likely way therefore to get any insight into the nature of those parts of the Creation which come within our observation must in all reason be to number, weigh and measure.
Hales, Stephen

13.
Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual sense of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtle than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.
Powers, Richard

14.
Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.
Connolly, Cyril

15.
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.

16.
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

17.
Conscience does make cowards of us all.
Shakespeare, William

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

19.
The great tragedy of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Huxley, Thomas H.

20.
If we knew all the laws of Nature, we should need only one fact, or the description of one actual phenomenon, to infer all the particular results at that point. Now we know only a few laws, and our result is vitiated, not, of course, by any confusion or irregularity in Nature, but by our ignorance of essential elements in the calculation. Our notions of law and harmony are commonly confined to those instances which we detect; but the harmony which results from a far greater number of seemingly conflicting, but really concurring, laws, which we have not detected, is still more wonderful. The particular laws are as our points of view, as, to the traveler, a mountain outline varies with every step, and it has an infinite number of profiles, though absolutely but one form. Even when cleft or bored through it is not comprehended in its entireness.
Thoreau, Henry David

21.
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

22.
Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.
Popper, Karl

23.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague

24.
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

25.
Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.
Ballard, J. G.

26.
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.

27.
The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions.
Ruskin, John

28.
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.

29.
The true science and study of man, is man himself.
Charron, Pierre

30.
Rules of society are nothing; ones conscience is the umpire.
Dudevant, Madame

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.
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

33.
One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
Pope, Alexander

34.
Conscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
Cook, Joseph

35.
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.

36.
Conscience is a man's compass.
Gogh, Vincent Van

37.
Reason often makes mistakes, but conscience never does.
Billings, Josh

38.
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

39.
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Byron, Lord

40.
Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.
Diderot, Denis

41.
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell

42.
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.

43.
There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery.
Chandler, Raymond

44.
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.

45.
Everywhere you look in science, the harder it becomes to understand the universe without God.
Herrman, Robert

46.
Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary.
Einstein, Albert

47.
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

48.
A clear conscience is a soft pillow.
Proverb, German

49.
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

50.
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
