Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Oscar WildeConscience in most men, is but the anticipation of the opinions of others.
Bishop Jeremy TaylorThe laws of conscience, which we pretend to be derived from nature, proceed from custom
MontaigneA fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
George Bernard ShawHe's very, very keen that what happens is that science be judged on the basis of evidence not prejudice [on Tony Blair]
Lord FalconerGovernment is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
Woodrow WilsonThere 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 LowellWhen freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.
Pope John Paul IIScience is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
Alan Turing Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics.
Richard Brinsley SheridanHe that speaketh against his own reason speaks against his own conscience, and therefore it is certain that no man serves God with a good conscience who serves him against his reason.
Bishop Jeremy TaylorThe 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 MeadImagination has always had powers of resurrection that no science can.
Ingrid BengisThe 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 CrowleyA 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 LambMy father worked hard in the Uzbek judicial system and my mother was a wonderful human being. These people could not have brought up what one European politician called a gangster and racketeer. I will leave that one to his conscience
Alisher UsmanovWe put the politics of conscience in the spot light.
Andrew NeilWe 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 HumboldtIgnorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
Charles DarwinPoets 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 It 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 does not know its debt to imagination.
Ralph Waldo EmersonA 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 FaulknerWhat a man calls his 'conscience' is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.
Helen RowlandWho fears not to do ill fears the name,
And free from conscience, is a slave to fame.
Sir John DenhamBehavioral psychology is the science of pulling habits out of rats.
Douglas BuschArt is meant to disturb, science reassures.
Georges BraqueEssentially 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 AdamsI wrote somewhere during the Cold War that I sometimes wish the Iron Curtain were much taller than it is, so that you could see whether the development of science with no communication was parallel on the two sides.
Thomas GoldConscience is thoroughly well-bred and soon leaves off talking to those who do not wish to hear it.
Samuel ButlerA man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
Thomas HobbesTOMB, 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 BierceSociety lives by faith, and develops by science.
Henri-Frederic AmielScience is his forte, and omniscience his foible.
Sydney SmithI 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 FrankAs long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress.
Marcel ProustOne 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 HonderichPeace 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 MertonWe live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
Carl SaganBefore 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 LeeEconomics is the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.
Lord RobbinsPhilosophers 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 I submit that the traditional definition of psychiatry, which is still vogue, places it alongside such things as alchemy and astrology, and commits it to the category of pseudo-science.
Thomas SzaszScience is organized knowledge.
Herbert SpencerWhat can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
Adam SmithConscience is merely our own judgment of the moral rectitude or turpitude of our own actions
John LockeThe saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
Isaac AsimovThis 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 HogbenAll science is either physics or stamp collecting
Ernest Rutherford
