science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium, a benefit
View quotes by Marie CurieThe law is a sort of hocus-pocus
science, that smiles in yeer face while it picks yeer pocket: and the glorious uncertainty of it is of mair use to the professors than the justice of it.

View quotes by Elizabeth FeeLife is a mission. Every other definition of life is false, and leads all who accept it astray. Religion,
science, philosophy, though still at variance upon many points, all agree in this, that every existence is an aim.
View quotes by Giuseppe MazziniIn
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.

science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.

View quotes by Elizabeth GeorgeScience is the most exciting and sustained enterprise of discovery in the history of our species. It is the great adventure of our time. We live today in an era of discovery that far outshadows the discoveries of the New World five hundred years ago.
View quotes by Michael CrichtonFalse 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 every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.
View quotes by Charles DarwinThe 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
View quotes by Walter J LippmannAs long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and
