Modesty is the conscience of the body.
Honore De BalzacWhile bright-eyed science watches round
Thomas GrayThe essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
Jacob BronowskiThere is no self-delusion more fatal than that which makes the conscience dreamy with the anodyne of lofty sentiments, while the life is groveling and sensual
James Russell LowellThere is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.
Isaac AsimovScience and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.
J G BallardScience progresses best when observations force us to alter our preconceptions.
Vera RubinEthical systems are completely unlike mathematics or science.
Daniel DennettI did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it.
Nelson MandelaWe live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
Carl SaganIt is God who is the ultimate reason of things, and the knowledge of God is no less the beginning of science than his essence and will are the beginning of beings.
Gottfried Wilhelm LeibnizScience is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Imannuel KantThe 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
Walter J LippmannThere must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science.
J Robert OppenheimerThere are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That's perfectly all right; they're the aperture to finding out what's right. Science is a self-correcting process. To be accepted, new ideas must survive the most rigorous standards of evidence and scrutiny.
Carl SaganWe put the politics of conscience in the spot light.
Andrew NeilSport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.
Avery BrundageAdvances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world.
Julie BishopAll science is either physics or stamp collecting
Ernest RutherfordI think there should be something in science called the 'reindeer effect.' I don't know what it would be, but I think it'd be good to hear someone say, 'Gentlemen, what we have here is a terrifying example of the reindeer effect.'
Jack HandyPhilosophy becomes poetry, and science imagination, in the enthusiasm of genius.
Isaac DisraeliWhat can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
Adam SmithThe church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.
Elbert HubbardScience fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Isaac AsimovA 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 FaulknerI am aware of the usefulness of science to society and of the benefits society derives from it.
Subrahmanyan ChandrasekharPornography is the quadraphonics of sex. It adds a third and fourth track to the sexual act. It is the hallucination of detail that rules. Science has already habituated us to this microscopics, this excess of the real in its microscopic detail, this voyeurism of exactitude.
Jean BaudrillardIn those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue.
Ethan AllenAdvertising may be described as the science of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it.
Stephen Butler LeacockThe world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.
Douglas MacarthurScience 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 CrichtonConscience and wealth are not always neighbours
Philip MassingerTOMB, n. The House of Indifference. Tombs are now by common consent invested with a certain sanctity, but when they have been long tenanted it is considered no sin to break them open and rifle them, the famous Egyptologist, Dr. Huggyns, explaining that a tomb may be innocently "glened" as soon as its occupant is done "smellynge," the soul being then all exhaled. This reasonable view is now generally accepted by archaeologists, whereby the noble science of Curiosity has been greatly dignified.
Ambrose BierceConscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
Joseph CookHitting is an art, but not an exact science.
Rod CarewThe capacity of the female mind for studies of the highest order cannot be doubted, having been sufficiently illustrated by its works of genius, of erudition, and of science
James MadisonHe who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
William BlakeThe laws of conscience, which we pretend to be derived from nature, proceed from custom
MontaigneAs the blush is the signal of innocence, so is serenity of manner the token of a quiet conscience
Suzanne Curchod NeckerThe fundamentalists, by 'knowing' the answers before they start, and then forcing nature into the straitjacket of their discredited preconceptions, lie outside the domain of science-or of any honest intellectual inquiry.
Stephen Jay GouldThere is nothing evil save that which perverts the mind and shackles the conscience.
Saint AmbroseThere is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a clear conscience or none at all.
Ogden NashIndividual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
Isaac AsimovWe 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 HumboldtThis 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 HogbenThe 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 SearleIn 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 GouldMathematics is the key and door to the sciences.
Galileo GalileiNow, there is always a tremendous fear of science and progressing forward into areas of the unknown and it is a valid fear. Some of the genetic alterations of food are a little edgy
Nick NolteHe that desire to acquire any art or science seeks first those means by which that art or science is obtained.
Robert Barclay
