Science Quotes

Geneticists believe that anthropologists have decided what a race is. Ethnologists assume that their classifications embody principles which genetic science has proved correct. Politicians believe that their prejudices have the sanction of genetic laws and the findings of physical anthropology to sustain them Picture Quote #1

As followers of natural science we know nothing of any relation between thoughts and the brain, except as a gross correlation in time and space Picture Quote #1

If we would serve science, we must extend her limits, not only as far as our own knowledge is concerned, but in the estimation of others Picture Quote #1

It is the desire for explanations that are at once systematic and controllable by factual evidence that generates science; and it is the organization and classification of knowledge on the basis of explanatory principles that is the distinctive goal of the sciences Picture Quote #1

On the question of the world as a whole, science founders. For scientific knowledge the world lies in fragments, the more so the more precise our scientific knowledge becomes Picture Quote #1

Part of the strength of science is that it has tended to attract individuals who love knowledge and the creation of it... Thus, it is the communication process which is at the core of the vitality and integrity of science Picture Quote #1

Science is teaching man to know and reverence truth, and to believe that only so far as he knows and loves it can he live worthily on earth, and vindicate the dignity of his spirit Picture Quote #1

The first business of a man of science is to proclaim the truth as he finds it, and let the world adjust itself as best it can to the new knowledge Picture Quote #1

As the world of science has grown in size and in power, its deepest problems have changed from the epistemological to the social Picture Quote #1

Belief has no place as far as science reaches, and may be first permitted to take root where science stops Picture Quote #1

For the essence of science, I would suggest, is simply the refusal to believe on the basis of hope Picture Quote #1

I do not believe that the present flowering of science is due in the least to a real appreciation of the beauty and intellectual discipline of the subject. It is due simply to the fact that power, wealth and prestige can only be obtained by the correct application of science Picture Quote #1

I liked science. It was about the only thing that stayed the same wherever we moved Picture Quote #1

In order to turn natural history into a true science, one would have to devote oneself to investigations capable of telling us not the particular shape of such and such an animal, but the general procedures of nature in the animal’s production and preservation Picture Quote #1

It is primarily through the growth of science and technology that man has acquired those attributes which distinguish him from the animals, which have indeed made it possible for him to become human Picture Quote #1

Man is made for science; he reasons from effects to causes, and from causes to effects; but he does not always reason without error. In reasoning, therefore, from appearances which are particular, care must be taken how we generalize; we should be cautious not to attribute to nature, laws which may perhaps be only of our own invention Picture Quote #1

Nothing that you do in science is guaranteed to result in benefits for mankind. Any discovery, I believe, is morally neutral and it can be turned either to constructive ends or destructive ends. That’s not the fault of science Picture Quote #1

One of the main causes of our artistic decline lies beyond doubt in the separation of art and science Picture Quote #1

Philosophers, if they have much imagination, are apt to let it loose as well as other people, and in such cases are sometimes led to mistake a fancy for a fact. Geologists, in particular, have very frequently amused themselves in this way, and it is not a little amusing to follow them in their fancies and their waking dreams. Geology, indeed, in this view, may be called a romantic science Picture Quote #1

Science is what scientists do, and there are as many scientific methods as there are individual scientists Picture Quote #1

Science is what scientists do, not what nonscientists think they do or ought to be doing.Wetenschap is wat wetenschappers doen Picture Quote #1

The fascination of any search after truth lies not in the attainment, which at best is found to be very relative, but in the pursuit, where all the powers of the mind and character are brought into play and are absorbed by the task. One feels oneself in contact with something that is infinite and one finds joy that is beyond expression in sounding the abyss of science and the secrets of the infinite mind Picture Quote #1

The secret of science is to ask the right question, and it is the choice of problem more than anything else that marks the man of genius in the scientific world Picture Quote #1

This is an age of science... All important fields of activity from the breeding of bees to the administration of an empire, call for an understanding of the spirit and the technique of modern science. The nations that do not cultivate the sciences cannot hold their own Picture Quote #1

True science is at length disencumbered of the empirical determinations which had accumulated in the course of many centuries Picture Quote #1

Whoever, in the pursuit of science, seeks after immediate practical utility, may generally rest assured that he will seek in vain Picture Quote #1

If the aim of physical theories is to explain experimental laws, theoretical physics is not an autonomous science; it is subordinate to metaphysics Picture Quote #1

The great problem of today is, how to subject all physical phenomena to dynamical laws. With all the experimental devices, and all the mathematical appliances of this generation, the human mind has been baffled in its attempts to construct a universal science of physics Picture Quote #1

Perfect concordance among reformers is not to be expected; and men who are honestly struggling towards the light cannot hope to attain at one bound to the complete truth. There is always a danger lest the fascination of a new discovery should lead us too far. Men of science, being human, are apt, like lovers, to exaggerate the perfections and be a little blind to the faults of the object of their choice Picture Quote #1

The wonderful structure of the animal system will probably never permit us to look upon it as a merely physical apparatus, yet the demands of science require that the evidently magnified principles of vitality should be reduced to their natural spheres, or if truth requires, wholly subverted in favor of those more cognizable by the human understanding. The spirit of the age will not tolerate in the devotee of science a quiet indifference Picture Quote #1
