Quotes on Science

[1] Werner Heisenberg: What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.

[2] Marcus Aurelius: Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

[3] Carl Sagan: Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

[4] Max Planck: Science progresses one funeral at a time.

[5] Robert A. Heinlein: Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.

[6] Louis Pateur: Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.

[7] Konrad Lorenz: Philosophers are people who know less and less about more and more, until they know nothing about everything. Scientists are people who know more and more about less and less, until they know everything about nothing.

[8] Santiago Ramón y Cajal: All outstanding work, in art as well as in science, results from immense zeal applied to a great idea.

[9] Louis Pasteur: Luck favors the prepared mind.

[10] Richard Feynman: Knowledge isn't free. You have to pay attention.

[11] Albert Einstein: The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

[12] Isaac Newton: If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.

[13] Isaac Newton: If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.

[14] Galileo Galilei: In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

[15] Richard Wesley Hamming: What appears to be a fault, often, by a change of viewpoint, turns out to be one of the greatest assets you can have.

[16] Richard Wesley Hamming: They believe the theory enough to go ahead; they doubt it enough to notice the errors and faults so they can step forward and create the new replacement theory. If you believe too much you'll never notice the flaws; if you doubt too much you won't get started.

[17] Richard Wesley Hamming: Most great scientists are completely committed to their problem. Those who don't become committed seldom produce outstanding, first-class work.

[18] Richard Wesley Hamming: So the way to manage yourself is that when you have a real important problem you don't let anything else get the center of your attention — you keep your thoughts on the problem. Keep your subconscious starved so it has to work on your problem, so you can sleep peacefully and get the answer in the morning, free.

[19] Friedrich Nietzsche: If a man have a strong faith he can indulge in the luxury of skepticism.

[20] William Osler: In science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.

[21] Isaac Asimov: Science is a systematic method for studying and working out those generalizations that seem to describe the behavior of the universe. It could exist as a purely intellectual game that would never affect the practical life of human beings either for good or evil, and that was very nearly the case in ancient Greece, for instance. Technology is the application of scientific findings to the tools of everyday life, and that application can be wise or unwise, useful or harmful. Very often, those who govern technological decisions are not scientists and know little about science.
