Motivational Quotes

Science

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
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
Where everything is possible miracles become commonplaces, but the familiar ceases to be self-evident.
Hoffer, Eric

2.
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

3.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not'Eureka!'(I found it!) but'That's funny ...'
Isaac Asimov

4.
Scientists are peeping toms at the keyhole of eternity.
Koestler, Arthur

5.
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

6.
Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.
Connolly, Cyril

7.
If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

8.
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

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.
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

11.
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

12.
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience.
Santayana, George

13.
In scientific work, those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact.
Huxley, Thomas H.

14.
Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
Pascal, Blaise

15.
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

16.
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein

17.
Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience.
Lippmann, Walter

18.
In everything that relates to science, I am a whole Encyclopaedia behind the rest of the world.
Lamb, Charles

19.
Men never do evil so fully and cheerfully as when we do it out of conscience.
Pascal, Blaise

20.
O Star-eyed Science! hast thou wandered there, to waft us home the message of despair?
Campbell, Thomas

21.
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.

22.
The beginning of compunction is the beginning of a new life.
Eliot, George

23.
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

24.
Science knows only one commandment -- contribute to science.
Brecht, Bertolt

25.
In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.
Quincey, Thomas De

26.
The chief prerequisite for a escort is to have a flexible conscience and an inflexible politeness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of

27.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King Jr.

28.
Science has always been too dignified to invent a good backscratcher.
Marquis, Don

29.
Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

30.
If they don't depend on true evidence, scientists are no better than gossips.
Fitzgerald, Penelope

31.
Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Carlyle, Thomas

32.
Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.
Braque, Georges

33.
The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
Teller, Edward

34.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague

35.
There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

36.
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
Pasteur, Louis

37.
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

38.
Isn't it marvelous how those scientists know the names of all those stars?

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.
Bancroft, George

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Asimov, Isaac

46.
What we call conscience in many instances, is only a wholesome fear of the law.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

47.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
Ernest Rutherford

48.
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

49.
In sci-fi convention, life-forms that hadn't developed space travel were mere prehistory -- horse-shoe crabs of the cosmic scene -- and something of the humiliation of being stuck on a provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me ever since.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

50.
Science is all metaphor.
Leary, Timothy
