Science Quotes
-
The American doctor, in my opinion, possesses a combination of conservatism and that other quality which has put the United States in the forefront in almost every department of science - that is, an eagerness to know what it is really all about in order that he may not be the one left behind if there is something to it.
Elizabeth Kenny
-
The science [of global warming] is beyond dispute... Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response
Barack Obama
-
I like science fiction. I took all the accelerated classes in school. I'm kind of a dork.
Anson Mount
-
Science gains from it [the pendulum] more than one can expect. With its huge dimensions, the apparatus presents qualities that one would try in vain to communicate by constructing it on a small [scale], no matter how carefully. Already the regularity of its motion promises the most conclusive results. One collects numbers that, compared with the predictions of theory, permit one to appreciate how far the true pendulum approximates or differs from the abstract system called 'the simple pendulum'.
Leon Foucault
-
If I had the science and math capabilities, I would have liked to be a vet, but I don't! I don't have those capabilities.
Carol Kane
-
The human qualities of the raw materials show through. Naivety, error, contradiction, even (as in the cursing Psalms) wickedness are not removed. The total result is not "the Word of God" in the sense that every passage in itself, gives impeccable science or history. It carries the Word of God.
C. S. Lewis
-
I conceive of nothing, in religion, science, or philosophy, that is more than the proper thing to wear, for a while.
Charles Fort
-
Game theory is a branch of, originally, applied mathematics, used mostly in economics and political science, a little bit in biology, that gives us a mathematical taxonomy of social life, and it predicts what people are likely to do and believe others will do in cases where everyone's actions affect everyone else.
Colin Camerer
-
Science is what scientists do.
Dennis Flanagan
-
No doubt it is true that science cannot study God, but it hardly follows that God had to keep a safe distance from everything that scientists want to study.
Phillip E. Johnson
-
I profess to learn and to teach anatomy not from books but from dissections, not from the tenets of Philosophers but from the fabric of Nature.
William Harvey
-
You can only go into science because you're interested in it.
Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
-
If you were an artist or novelist, or a poet or somebody like that, nobody would think it odd if you worked in your own home. In science there's none of this at all. I'm almost the only independent scientist in Britain. Everybody else works in large institutions, universities, or industrial labs. Why should one expect scientists to work that way?
James Lovelock
-
The young mathematical disciple 'topology' might be of some help in making psychology a real science.
Kurt Lewin
-
I love science. I hate supposition, superstition, exaggeration and falsified data. Show me the research, show me the results, show me the conclusions - and then show me some qualified peer reviews of all that.
Claire Scovell LaZebnik
-
The only hope [of science] ... is in genuine induction.
Francis Bacon
-
If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.
Phillip E. Johnson
-
A powerful attraction exists, therefore, to the promotion of a study and of duties of all others engrossing the time most completely, and which is less benefited than most others by any acquaintance with science.
Charles Babbage
