Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
John DeweyThe church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.
Elbert HubbardIn matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.
Mahatma GandhiConscience that isn't hitched up to common sense is a mighty dangerous thing.
Margaret DelandIt's not a precise science and in the end it's only the individual that knows what he can and cannot do, but I know Michael (Vaughan) and Duncan (Fletcher) will give him the maximum amount of time. [on Simon Jones]
David GraveneyScience is organized knowledge.
Herbert SpencerThere 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 SaganThe 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.
Charles MacklinAfter a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form
Albert EinsteinThe exciting about science and discovery, as much as how far we have come, is how far we still have to go. If we know what we do now, then the future truly is ours.
Linda GodwinScientific 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
Marie CurieCheerfulness is full of significance; it suggests good health, a clear conscience, and a soul at peace with all human nature
Charles KingsleyIt 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 OpikWe 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 HumboldtA "just war" is hospitable to every self-deception on the part of those waging it, none more than the certainty of virtue, under whose shelter every abomination can be committed with a clear conscience.
Alexander CockburnAll one's inventions are true, you can be sure of that. Poetry is as exact a science as geometry.
Gustave FlaubertWhat a man calls his 'conscience' is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.
Helen RowlandThe 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 DawkinsI cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
Lillian HellmanA 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 FaulknerLiterature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put to the legal apparatus by conscience in touch with humanity.
Nelson AlgrenArchaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences. It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been.
Jim BishopI was a science fiction junkie for a long time.
William HurtMan is the interpreter of nature, science the right interpretation. (Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, 1840)
William WhewellA good conscience is a continual feast.
Robert BurtonI cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
Lillian HelvetiusFormerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.
Thomas SzaszBachelors have consciences, married men have wives.
Samuel JohnsonIn science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to whom the idea first occurs.
Francis DarwinScience 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 CrichtonMan is unique not because he does science, and his is unique not because he does art, but because science and art equally are expressions of his marvelous plasticity of mind.
Jacob BronowskiNobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.
Edmund HillaryScience does not know its debt to imagination.
Ralph Waldo EmersonCommon sense is science exactly so far as it fulfils the ideal of common sense; that is, sees facts as they are or at any rate without the distortion of prejudice, and reasons from them in accordance with the dictates of sound judgment
Thomas HuxleyConscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.
Henry L MenckenBefore I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
Harper LeeScience is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Carl SaganThe true science and study of man is man.
Pierre CharronPeace 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 MertonChastity 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 EddyWhat can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
Adam SmithOne thinks of French philosophy that it aspires to the condition of literature or the condition of art, and that English and American philosophy aspires to the condition of science. French philosophy, one thinks of as picking up an idea and running with it, posibility into a nearby brick wall or over a local cliff, or something like that.
Ted HonderichThere is a higher law than the law of government. That's the law of conscience.
Stokely CarmichaelIn science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.
Sir Francis DarwinThe credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.
Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheHappy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience
Thomas A KempisJealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.
George EliotIn 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 AllenFreedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.
Michel FoucaultNo science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.
Jacob Bronowski
