Great Scientist Quotes

[My favorite scientist] Michio Kaku. He deals with wormholes. Check him out. He’s great Picture Quote #1

[Great scientists] are men of bold ideas, but highly critical of their own ideas: they try to find whether their ideas are right by trying first to find whether they are not perhaps wrong. They work with bold conjectures and severe attempts at refuting their own conjectures Picture Quote #1

If a given scientist had not made a given discovery, someone else would have done so a little later. Johann Mendel dies unknown after having discovered the laws of heredity: thirty-five years later, three men rediscover them. But the book that is not written will never be written. The premature death of a great scientist delays humanity; that of a great writer deprives it Picture Quote #1

A man who says that men are machines may be a great scientist. A man who says he is a machine is ‘depersonalized’ in psychiatric jargon Picture Quote #1

Even the great scientists have reported that their creative break-throughs came at a time of mental quietude. The surprising result of a nationwide inquiry among America’s most eminent mathematicians, including Einstein, to find out their working methods, was that thinking ‘plays only a subordinate part in the brief, decisive phase of the creative act itself’ Picture Quote #1

They’re a lot of great scientists and their mission is to protect people. It’s the Environmental Protection Agency, but it’s really a people protection agency. And they’re out there trying to do their job and do the science Picture Quote #1

I wish I was a great writer or a great journalist or a great scientist or a great artist; I’m not Picture Quote #1

There is no greatness without passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson Picture Quote #1

Mine is a gruesome job, but for a scientist with a love for the mechanics of the human body, a great one Picture Quote #1

The genius of a great magician is as impressive as the genius of a great scientist Picture Quote #1

What makes a scientist great is the care that he takes in telling you what is wrong with his results, so that you will not misuse them Picture Quote #1

The artist’s conception of his art or the scientist’s of his science is usually as great as his conception of his own worth is small Picture Quote #1

Everyone knows Newton as the great scientist. Few remember that he spent half his life muddling with alchemy , looking for the philosopher’s stone. That was the pebble by the seashore he really wanted to find Picture Quote #1

We affirm the neutrality of Science ... Science is of no country. ... But if Science has no country, the scientist must keep in mind all that may work towards the glory of his country. In every great scientist will be found a great patriot Picture Quote #1

We must start with scientific fundamentals, and that means with the data of experiments and not with assumed axioms predicated only upon the misleading nature of that which only superficially seems to be obvious. It is the consensus of great scientists that science is the attempt to set in order the facts of experience Picture Quote #1

When it was suggested to Pasteur that many of his great achievements depended on luck, he replied - I’m sure with more than a little irritation - ‘In the field of observation in science, fortune only favours the prepared mind.’ It is not by chance that it is always the great scientists who have the luck Picture Quote #1

All the greatest men are maniacs. They are possessed by a mania which drives them forward towards thier goal. The great scientists, the philosophers, the religious leaders - all maniacs. What else but a blind singlenee of purpose could have given focus to thier genius, would have kept them in the groove of purpose. Mania ... is as priceless as genius Picture Quote #1

A great scientist is more open to a new idea than almost anybody Picture Quote #1

You can wear ruffles; you can be a jock, and you can still be a great computer scientist, or a great technologist, or a great product designer Picture Quote #1

I am a scientist. Mine is a professional world that achieves great things for humanity Picture Quote #1

It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man Picture Quote #1

As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope Picture Quote #1

The fact that the great scientist believed in flying machines was the one thing that encouraged us to begin our studies Picture Quote #1

It is not enough to say that we cannot know or judge because all the information is not in. The process of gathering knowledge does not lead to knowing. A child’s world spreads only a little beyond his understanding while that of a great scientist thrusts outward immeasurably. An answer is invariably the parent of a great family of new questions. So we draw worlds and fit them like tracings against the world about us, and crumple them when we find they do not fit and draw new ones Picture Quote #1

Most geometricians, chemists, mathematicians, and great scientists submit religion to reason only to discover a problem as unsolvable as that of squaring a circle Picture Quote #1

We have not known a single great scientist who could not discourse freely and interestingly with a child. Can it be that haters of clarity have nothing to say, have observed nothing, have no clear picture of even their own fields? Picture Quote #1

When kids look up to great scientists the way they do to great musicians and actors, civilization will jump to the next level Picture Quote #1

I wish I was a great writer or a great journalist or a great scientist or a great artist; I’m not Picture Quote #1

Biographical history, as taught in our public schools, is still largely a history of boneheads; ridiculous kings and queens, paranoid political leaders, compulsive voyagers, ignorant general the flotsam and jetsam of historical currents. The men who radically altered history, the great scientists and mathematicians, are seldom mentioned, if at all Picture Quote #1

All interpretations made by a scientist are hypotheses, and all hypotheses are tentative. They must forever be tested and they must be revised if found to be unsatisfactory. Hence, a change of mind in a scientist, and particularly in a great scientist, is not only not a sign of weakness but rather evidence for continuing attention to the respective problem and an ability to test the hypothesis again and again Picture Quote #1
