Quote link. Other quotes about: men children wisdom child Other quotes by Sir Arthur Eddington.: "Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers."
Quote link. Other quotes about: physical truth Other quotes by Sir Arthur Eddington.: "For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal. It does not follow that every item which we confidently accept as physical knowledge has actually been certified by the Court our confidence is that it would be certified by the Court if it were submitted. But it does follow that every item of physical knowledge is of a form which might be submitted to the Court. It must be such that we can specify (although it may be impracticable to carry out) an observational procedure which would decide whether it is true or not. Clearly a statement cannot be tested by observation unless it is an assertion about the results of observation. Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure."

Quote link. Other quotes about: philosophy art live man person Other quotes by Simone Weil.: "When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man's name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous."
Quote link. Other quotes by Louis Pasteur.: "There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science."

Other quotes about: work old human nature discover fact Other quotes by Francis Bacon.: "If any human being earnestly desire to push on to new discoveries instead of just retaining and using the old to win victories over Nature as a worker rather than over hostile critics as a disputant to attain , in fact, clear and demonstrative knowlegde instead of attractive and probable theory we invite him as a true son of Science to join our ranks."

Quote link. Other quotes about: power world man nature change Other quotes by B. F. Skinner.: "Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate their subject matters."

Other quotes about: death day man war fear Other quotes by Thomas Alva Edison.: "There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever."
Quote link. Other quotes about: technology ignorance power understand Other quotes by Carl Sagan.: "We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces."
Quote link. Other quotes by Carl Sagan.: "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."
Quote link. Other quotes about: reason believe Other quotes by Carl Sagan.: "If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits"

Quote link. Other quotes about: old creative Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science."
Quote link. Other quotes about: law Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "Our defense is not in our armaments, nor in science, nor in going underground. Our defense is in law and order."
Quote link. Other quotes about: small fact Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms."
Quote link. Other quotes about: experience art good dead Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead his eyes are closed."
Quote link. Other quotes about: experience art Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science."

Other quotes about: hope art world men life nature pain person Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "...One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."

Quote link. Other quotes about: old human day people man value Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes."
Quote link. Other quotes about: thinking think nothing mind Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "The physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for he himself knows best and feels most surely where the shoe pinches.... he must try to make clear in his own mind just how far the concepts which he uses are justified... The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."

Quote link. Other quotes about: experience man beauty good dead wisdom Other quotes by Albert Einstein.: "The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that which is impenetretrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."

Quote link. Other quotes about: find truth sin Other quotes by Charles Sanders Pierce.: "There is one thing even more vital to science than intelligent methods and that is, the sincere desire to find out the truth, whatever it may be."
Quote link. Other quotes about: human religion belief lies Other quotes by Richard Adams.: "The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief, which is at the heart of all popular religion, that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart."
Quote link. Other quotes about: human dreams music young Other quotes by Eric Anderson.: "It is only by introducing the young to great literature, drama and music, and to the excitement of great science that we open to them the possibilities that lie within the human spirit -- enable them to see visions and dream dreams."

Quote link. Other quotes about: mental power reason history men man good devil influence Other quotes by Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin.: "The instinct to command others, in its primitive essence, is a carnivorous, altogether bestial and savage instinct. Under the influence of the mental development of man, it takes on a somewhat more ideal form and becomes somewhat ennobled, presenting itself as the instrument of reason and the devoted servant of that abstraction, or political fiction, which is called the public good. But in its essence it remains just as baneful, and it becomes even more so when, with the application of science, it extends its scope and intensifies the power of its action. If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle."
Quote link. Other quotes about: love Other quotes by P.L. Berger.: "In science as in love, too much concentration on technique can often lead to impotence."

Quote link. Other quotes about: believe nothing life soul Other quotes by Wernher Magnus Maximilian von Braun.: "I believe in an immortal soul. Science has proved that nothing disintegrates into nothingness. Life and soul, therefore, cannot disintegrate into nothingness, and so are immortal."
Quote link. Other quotes about: christ god truth men man mind Other quotes by John Calvin.: "Without Christ, sciences in every department are vain....The man who knows not God is vain, though he should be conversant with every branch of learning. Nay more, we may affirm this too with truth, that these choice gifts of God -- expertness of mind, acuteness of judgment, liberal sciences, and acquaintance with languages, are in a manner profaned in every instance in which they fall to the lot of wicked men."
Quote link. Other quotes about: reason human Other quotes by Noam Chomsky.: "As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss."
Quote link. Other quotes about: time life Other quotes by William Cobbett.: "Be you in what line of life you may, it will be amongst your misfortunes if you have not time properly to attend to pecuniary monetary matters. Want of attention to these matters has impeded the progress of science and of genius itself."
Quote link. Other quotes about: ignorance world time nature country Other quotes by Humphrey Davy.: "Fortunately science, like that nature to which it belongs, is neither limited by time nor by space. It belongs to the world, and is of no country and no age. The more we know, the more we feel our ignorance the more we feel how much remains unknown."
Quote link. Other quotes about: little fact Other quotes by Charles Robert Darwin.: "False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for everyone takes a salutory pleasure in proving their falseness."

Quote link. Other quotes about: art artists Other quotes by M. C. Escher.: "By keenly confronting the enigmas that surround us, and by considering and analysing the observations that I have made, I ended up in the domain of mathematics, Although I am absolutely without training in the exact sciences, I often seem to have more in common with mathematicians than with my fellow artists."
Quote link. Other quotes by Richard Phillips Feynman.: "If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part."
Quote link. Other quotes by Max Gluckman.: "A science is any discipline in which the fool of this generation can go beyond the point reached by the genius of the last generation."
Quote link. Other quotes about: class time Other quotes by Stephen Jay Gould.: "In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms."
Quote link. Other quotes about: people forget Other quotes by Robert Graves.: "Anthropologists are a connecting link between poets and scientists though their field-work among primitive peoples has often made them forget the language of science."

Quote link. Other quotes about: history never Other quotes by Robert Anson Heinlein.: "Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen."
Quote link. Other quotes about: experience world time never nature society born Other quotes by Dee W. Hock.: "We are at that very point in time when a 400-year-old age is dying and another is struggling to be born - a shifting of culture, science, society and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead, the possibility of regeneration of individuality, liberty, community and ethics such as the world has never known, and a harmony with nature, with one another and with the divine intelligence such as the world has always dreamed."

Quote link. Other quotes about: work hard Other quotes by Johann von Neumann.: "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."

The words may ultimately destroy the instincts. But until this has occurred, words do not count. - from Science and the Modern World"

Quote link. Other quotes about: small believe Other quotes by Emil Wiechert.: "So far as modern science is concerned, we have to abandon completely the idea that by going into the realm of the small we shall reach the ultimate foundations of the universe. I believe we can abandon this idea without any regret. The universe is infinite in all directions, not only above us in the large but also below us in the small."
Quote link. Other quotes about: human nature Other quotes by Bill Wulf.: "There is only one nature - the division into science and engineering is a human imposition, not a natural one. Indeed, the division is a human failure it reflects our limited capacity to comprehend the whole."
Quote link. Other quotes about: world man understand value need society service Other quotes by Sir Eric Ashby.: "The engineer is the key figure in the material progress of the world. It is his engineering that makes a reality of the potential value of science by translating scientific knowledge into tools, resources, energy and labor to bring them into the service of man ... To make contributions of this kind the engineer requires the imagination to visualize the needs of society and to appreciate what is possible as well as the technological and broad social age understanding to bring his vision to reality."

Other quotes about: art change society walk Other quotes by Dean Gordon Brown.: "Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia engineering is not merely analysis engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society..."

Quote link. Other quotes by Carl Friedrich Gauss.: "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences."
Quote link. Other quotes about: men life living women Other quotes by Herbert Hoover.: "Engineering is a great profession. There is the fascination of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege."

Quote link. Other quotes about: man Other quotes by Andrew Schneider.: "As a doctor, as a man of science, I can tell you there is no such thing as curses Everything just happens as a question of probability. The statistical likelihood of a specific event."
Quote link. Other quotes about: man nature Other quotes by William A. Smith.: "Engineering is the science of economy, of conserving the energy, kinetic and potential, provided and stored up by nature for the use of man. It is the business of engineering to utilize this energy to the best advantage, so that there may be the least possible waste."
