| Quote:The more I study science, the more I believe in God.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:In 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 Dirac] Quote:To sit alone with my conscience will be judgment enough for me.[Charles William Stubbs] Quote:Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.[Chapman Cohen] Quote:All science, even the divine science, is a sublime detective story. Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny...'[Isaac Asimov] Quote:No doubt those who really founded modern science were usually those whose love of truth exceeded their love of power.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it. You shouldn't worry. Thanks to modern science we now know that lightning is nothing more than huge chunks of electricity that can come out of the sky, anytime, anywhere, and kill you.[Dave Barry] Quote:The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?[Stephen Hawking] Quote:The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:A good conscience is a continual Christmas.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.[George Washington] Quote:There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.[Thomas Edison] Quote:An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.[Albert Einstein] Quote:For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:In 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.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.[Mark Twain] Quote:Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.[Ansel Adams] Quote:The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.[Albert Einstein] Quote:'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.[Thomas Paine] Quote:The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It?s the age-old struggle?the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your conscience on the other.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.[George Washington] Quote:Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.[John Milton] Quote:Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Statistics: The only science that enables different experts using the same figures to draw different conclusions. [Evan Esar] Quote:All science is either physics or stamp collecting. [George Santayana] Quote:Mathematics is the queen of the sciences. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society... [Herbert Hoover] Quote:Formerly, 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 Szasz] Quote:There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance. [Hippocrates] Quote:Isn't it interesting that the same people who laugh at science fiction listen to weather forecasts and economists? [Laurence J. Peter] Quote:I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. [Lillian Hellman] Quote:Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy. [Izaak Walton] Quote:All science is either physics or stamp collecting. [Sir Arthur Eddington] Quote:Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science. [Henri Poincare] Quote:Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it. [Unknown] Quote:I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true. [Carl Sagan] Quote:Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt.
