To will what God doth will, that is the only science
That gives us any rest
Francois De MalherbeThe capacity to be puzzled is the premise of all creation, be it in art or in science.
Erich FrommFrom the level of pragmatic, everyday knowledge to modern natural science, the knowledge of nature derives from man's primary coming to grips with nature; at the same time it reacts back upon the system of social labour and stimulates its development.
Jurgen HabermasThe 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 JohnsonA 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 FaulknerScience is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
Alan Turing Scientific 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 CurieIn 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 GouldBachelors have consciences, married men have wives.
Samuel JohnsonScience 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 CrichtonIt 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 LeibnizIn 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 AllenGods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.
Chapman CohenPolitics is not an exact science.
Otto Von BismarckScience is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers.
Sir Arthur EddingtonEverything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.
J G BallardWhile 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 AdamsAs long as there are entrenched social and political distinctions between sexes, races, or classes, there will be forms of science whose main function is to rationalise and legitimise these distinctions.
Elizabeth FeeThere 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 Non-Conformist Conscience makes cowards of us all.
Max BeerbohmThere is nothing evil save that which perverts the mind and shackles the conscience.
Saint AmbroseI did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it.
Nelson MandelaThe 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 MadisonA "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 CockburnI couldn't kill him. I couldn't live with that on my conscience [on letting a burglar go]
Ozzy OsbourneIn science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to whom the idea first occurs.
Francis DarwinCreativity in science could be described as the act of putting two and two together to make five
Arthur KoestlerSuccess is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Oscar WildeScience is advancing faster than ever, and on a broader front.
Sir Martin ReesA 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 LambScience fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Isaac AsimovPeople talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.
Henry JamesI am aware of the usefulness of science to society and of the benefits society derives from it.
Subrahmanyan ChandrasekharI'm just a humble cricketer with no claims to omniscience or omnipotence.
Shane WarneIt'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 GraveneyTOMB, 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 BierceNo science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.
Jacob BronowskiI cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
Lillian HelvetiusHe that desire to acquire any art or science seeks first those means by which that art or science is obtained.
Robert BarclayAs the blush is the signal of innocence, so is serenity of manner the token of a quiet conscience
Suzanne Curchod NeckerThink 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 SaganCommon 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 HuxleyFormerly, 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 SzaszSpeculation is perfectly all right, but if you stay there you've only founded a superstition. If you test it, you've started a science.
Hal ClementConscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
Joseph CookPhilosophy becomes poetry, and science imagination, in the enthusiasm of genius.
Isaac DisraeliBefore 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 LeeTruth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one
Konrad LorenzThe 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 SearleHappy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience
Thomas A Kempis
