Conscience in most men, is but the anticipation of the opinions of others.
Bishop Jeremy Taylor'I believe in wishes and in a person's ability to make a wish come true, I really do. And a wish is more than a wish... it's a goal that your conscience and subconscience can help make reality.'
Michael JacksonThe separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.
Lyndon JohnsonWhile conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind.
Mary Wortley MontaguPhilosophy becomes poetry, and science imagination, in the enthusiasm of genius.
Isaac DisraeliPolitics is not an exact science.
Otto Von BismarckI warn you against believing that advertising is a science.
William BernbachConscience and wealth are not always neighbours
Philip MassingerLiterature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put to the legal apparatus by conscience in touch with humanity.
Nelson AlgrenScience can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
Pope John Paul III was a science fiction junkie for a long time.
William HurtSound science must be a basis to governing our trade relations around the globe
Bill FristWhile all other sciences have advanced, that of government is at a standstill - little better understood, little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago
John AdamsIn science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.
Sir Francis DarwinEssentially and most simply put, plot is what the characters do to deal with the situation they are in. It is a logical sequence of events that grow from an initial incident that alters the status quo of the characters. [on the science, or art, of writing a book]
Elizabeth GeorgeThe popularity of the paranormal, oddly enough, might even be grounds for encouragement. I think that the appetite for mystery, the enthusiasm for that which we do not understand, is healthy and to be fostered. It is the same appetite which drives the best of true science, and it is an appetite which true science is best qualified to satisfy
Richard DawkinsScience is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
Alan Turing It does sound like a science fiction story and I may sound like one of these guys who walks up and down with a sandwich board saying the end of the world is nigh, but the end is nigh...
Lembit OpikPoets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?
Richard Feynman The reason that no computer program can ever be a mind is simply that a computer program is only syntactical, and minds are more than syntactical. Minds are semantical, in the sense that they have more than a formal structure, they have a content. [Minds, Brains and Science]
John SearleFalse 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.
Charles DarwinChastity is the cement of civilization and progress. Without it there is no stability in society, and without it one cannot attain the Science of Life.
Mary Baker EddyBooks are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.
Barbara TuchmanImagination has always had powers of resurrection that no science can.
Ingrid BengisSport went hand in hand with science.
Alfred Lord TennysonA poor relation is the most irrelevant thing in nature, a piece of impertinent correspondence, an odious approximation, a haunting conscience, a preposterous shadow, lengthening in the noon-tide of our prosperity. He is known by his knock.
Charles LambConscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.
Henry L MenckenA man's moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream.
William FaulknerPeace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
Thomas MertonThe church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.
Elbert HubbardThe conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
Aleister CrowleyThis is not the age of pamphleteers. It is the age of the engineers. The spark-gap is mightier than the pen. Democracy will not be salvaged by men who talk fluently, debate forcefully and quote aptly. (Science for the Citizen)
Lancelot HogbenPhilosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
Richard Feynman The true science and study of man is man.
Pierre CharronMathematics is the key and door to the sciences.
Galileo GalileiScience 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.
Michael CrichtonHistory, as it lies at the root of all science, is also the first distinct product of man's spiritual nature; his earliest expression of what can be called Thought
Thomas CarlyleScience is nothing more than a method of inquiry. The method says an assertion is valid — and merits universal acceptance — only if it can be independently verified. The impersonal rigor of the method means it is utterly apolitical. A truth in science is verifiable whether you are black or white, male or female, old or young. It's verifiable whether you like the results of a study, or you don't
Michael CrichtonJealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.
George EliotLord of myself, accountable to none.
But to my conscience, and my God alone.
John OldhamConscience that isn't hitched up to common sense is a mighty dangerous thing.
Margaret DelandI soothe my conscience now with the thought that it is better for hard words to be on paper than that Mummy should carry them in her heart.
Anne FrankIn 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.
Stephen Jay GouldHitting is an art, but not an exact science.
Rod CarewThe negative cautions of science are never popular. If the experimentalist would not commit himself, the social philosopher, the preacher, and the pedagogue tried the harder to give a short-cut answer.
Margaret MeadPolitics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.
Woodrow WilsonScience progresses best when observations force us to alter our preconceptions.
Vera RubinThink of how many religions attempt to validate themselves with prophecy. Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs. Yet has there ever been a religion with the prophetic accuracy and reliability of science?
Carl SaganThe laws of conscience, which we pretend to be derived from nature, proceed from custom
MontaigneWe cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.
Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
