Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.
Henry L MenckenPhilosophy becomes poetry, and science imagination, in the enthusiasm of genius.
Isaac DisraeliBachelors have consciences, married men have wives.
Samuel JohnsonBefore 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 LeeAfter a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form
Albert EinsteinIn science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
Paul DiracMathematics is the key and door to the sciences.
Galileo GalileiTruth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one
Konrad LorenzAll science is either physics or stamp collecting
Ernest RutherfordScience is his forte, and omniscience his foible.
Sydney SmithLord of myself, accountable to none.
But to my conscience, and my God alone.
John OldhamPhilosophers 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 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 SearleScience has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.
Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheTo will what God doth will, that is the only science
That gives us any rest
Francois De MalherbeScience has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.
Jacob BronowskiEconomics is the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.
Lord RobbinsThey might have to redefine the term rocket science.
Clive EvertonGods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.
Chapman CohenAs soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss
Noam ChomskyArchaeology 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 BishopScientific 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 CurieNo science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.
Jacob BronowskiIn science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to whom the idea first occurs.
Francis DarwinHe it was that first gave to the law the air of a science. He found it a skeleton, and clothed it with life, colour, and complexion; he embraced the cold statue, and by his touch it grew into youth, health, and beauty.
Barry YelvertonWe 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 HumboldtThe 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 MeadScience is nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Thomas HuxleyIn 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 GouldEssentially 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 GeorgeWhile 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 AdamsThe credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.
Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheCommon 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 HuxleyThe 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 MacarthurA man's conscience, like a warning line on the highway, tells him what he shouldn't do - but it does not keep him from doing it.
Frank A ClarkSport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.
Avery Brundage'The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.'
Harper LeeI cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
Lillian HellmanIn science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.
William OslerConscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
Joseph CookCheerfulness is full of significance; it suggests good health, a clear conscience, and a soul at peace with all human nature
Charles KingsleyWe live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
Carl SaganEverything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.
J G BallardModesty is the conscience of the body.
Honore De BalzacPolitics 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 WilsonAll one's inventions are true, you can be sure of that. Poetry is as exact a science as geometry.
Gustave FlaubertIn 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 AllenIt is the tension between the scientist's laws and his own attempted breaches of them that powers the engines of science and makes it forge ahead. (Quiddities)
W V O QuineScience is wonderfully equipped to answer the question 'How?' but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question 'Why?'
Erwin ChargaffA 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 Lamb
