Quotations
Quotes:
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
View quotes by Marie Curie
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it
View quotes by Max Planck
A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone.
View quotes by Charles Darwin
Our belief in any particular natural law cannot have a safer basis than our unsuccessful critical attempts to refute it.
[Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge]
View quotes by Karl Popper
In economics, hope and faith coexist with great scientific pretension and also a deep desire for respectability.
View quotes by Galbraith
I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence.
View quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
OK... it's time for the lie detector test results! [The scientific test applied every show of Trisha]
View quotes by Trisha Goddard
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
View quotes by Aldous Huxley

View quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
In scientific work, those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact
View quotes by Thomas Huxley
Scientific truth is too beautiful to be sacrificed for the sake of light entertainment or money. Astrology is an aesthetic affront. It cheapens astronomy, like using Beethoven for commercial jingles
View quotes by Richard Dawkins
Our single greatest defense against scientific ignorance is education, and early in the life of every scientist, the child's first interest was sparked by a teacher.
View quotes by Peter Agre
We do not think much about using live 'lower' animals for our pedantic
scientific studies; I'm in favor of doing so, so long as we obtain written
or verbal informed consent from such subjects. Until such time, we're
selfish, callous, and benighted.
View quotes by Jason Merchey
Every scientific truth goes through three states: first, people say it conflicts with the Bible; next, they say it has been discovered before; lastly, they say they always believed it.
View quotes by Louis Agassiz

View quotes by Cyril Clarke
