Carved above the lintel were the words SCIENTIA POTESTAS EST. Science points east, I wondered? Science is portentous, yes? Science protests too much. Scientific potatoes rule. Had I stumbled on the lair of dangerous plant geneticists?
- Ben Aaronovitch
True science is never speculative; it employs hypotheses as suggesting points for inquiry, but it never adopts the hypotheses as though they were demonstrated propositions.
- Cleveland Abbe
A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory.
- Mark Twain
No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.
- Jacob Bronowski
Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience.
- Walter Lippmann
For me, I think the greatest achievements of science is to allow humanity to realize that our world is comprehensible. Through science, rational thinking, we can understand how the universe works.
- Jim Al Khalili
It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.
- Josef Albers
I learned a long time ago with you that folks who were trying to be kind would rather do it with a macaroni-and-cheese bake than any personal involvement. You hand off a serving dish and you've done your job - no need to get personally involved, and your conscience is clean. Food is the currency of aid.
- Jodi Picoult
Science is a hammer for change.

The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions.
- John Ruskin
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

Science is nothing but perception.
- Plato
Too much math and science isn't nourishing to the soul.

God is the name we give to the science we don't understand. Science is the name we give to the God we don't understand.
- Steve Maraboli
Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.
- Richard Bach
Science is a hammer for change.
- Louise J Kaplan
The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain, without a thought being given to the real strong hold.
- Edward Bach
The strongest arguments prove nothing so long as the conclusions are not verified by experience. Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.
- Roger Bacon
The bite of conscience is indecent.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Science is the ultimate pornography, analytic activity whose main aim is to isolate objects or events from their contexts in time and space. This obsession with the specific activity of quantified functions is what science shares with pornography.
- J G Ballard
Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.
- Oscar Wilde
Conscience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.
- Oscar Wilde
Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.
- George Bancroft
He that desireth to acquire any art or science seeketh first those means by which that art or science is obtained. If we ought to do so in things natural and earthly, how much more then in spiritual?
- Robert Barclay
Further, science is a collaborative effort.
- John Bardeen
Science is a field which grows continuously with ever expanding frontiers.
- John Bardeen
Conscience is the perfect interpreter of life.
- Karl Barth
The heart of it all is mystery, and science is at best only the peripheral trappings to that mystery--a ragged barbed-wire fence through which mystery travels, back and forth, unencumbered by anything so frail as man's knowledge.
- Rick Bass
Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Science is the topography of ignorance.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted.
- Michael Behe
Freedom of conscience is the core of all freedom
- Pope Benedict Xvi
The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part, but a critically important part, of economy and social development.
- John Desmond Bernal
Art is I; science is we.
- Claude Bernard
Science is a trigger of changes of civilization.
Religion is the failsafe of science performance.

Science is better than sympathy, if only it is science.

In this time of budget cuts, we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age.
- Tim Bishop
Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
- William Blake
Thou knowest that these things which I say are true, and that I was never delighted in my own praise, for the secret of a good conscience is in some sort diminished, when by declaring what he hath done, a man receiveth the reward of fame.
- Boethius
The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it.
- Edward De Bono
Love is too young to know what conscience is.
- William Shakespeare
Conscience is but a word that cowards use,
Devis'd at first to keep the strong in awe:
Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law.
March on, join bravely, let us to't pell-mell;
If not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell.
- William Shakespeare
Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.
- Ray Bradbury
They blended religion and art and science because, at base, science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.
- Ray Bradbury
Science is the only news. When you scan a news portal or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same cyclical dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness; even the technology is predictable if you know the science behind it. Human nature doesn't change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly
- Stewart Brand
The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error.
- Bertolt Brecht
Conscience is like a pet: If you spoil it by too much attention it'll start yipping at the most inopportune times.
- Connie Brockway
unless the direction of science is guided by a consciously ethical motivation, especially compassion, its effects may fail to bring benefit. They may indeed cause great harm.
- Dalai Lama
Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand.
- Dan Brown
Faith does not protect you. Medicine and airbags... Those are the things that protect you. God does not protect you. Intelligence protects you. Enlightenment. Put your faith in something with tangible results. How long has it been since someone walked on water? Modern miracles belong to science.. Computers, vaccines, space stations... Even the devine miracle of creation. Matter from nothing... In a lab. Who needs God? No! Science is God!
- Dan Brown
I realize the odds, and science, are against me. But science is not the total answer; this I know, this I have learned in my lifetime. And that leaves me with the belief that miracles, no matter how inexplicable or unbelievable, are real and can occur without regard to the natural order of things.
- Nicholas Sparks
A good conscience is a continual feast.
- Robert Burton
The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul.
- John Calvin
Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature.
- Luther Burbank
Conscience is the virtue of observers and not of agents of action.
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
To pursue science is not to disparage the things of the spirit. In fact, to pursue science rightly is to furnish the framework on which the spirit may rise.
- Vannevar Bush
One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
- Albert Einstein
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Albert Einstein
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

Science is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
- Albert Einstein
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

- Benjamin Franklin
Conscience is no more than the dead speaking to us.

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question "How?" but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question "Why?"
- Erwin Chargaff
To endeavor to domineer over conscience, is to invade the citadel of heaven.

The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.

Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know.
- Bertrand Russell
The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell.
- Bertrand Russell
Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
- Stephen Jay Gould
Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information; it is a creative human activity.
- Stephen Jay Gould
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
- Noam Chomsky
Science is a bit like the joke about the drunk who is looking under a lamppost for a key that he has lost on the other side of the street, because that's where the light is. It has no other choice.
- Noam Chomsky
We must revisit the idea that science is a methodology and not an ontology.
- Deepak Chopra
Science is the only religion of mankind.
- Arthur C Clarke
Conscience is the root of all true courage; if a man would be brave let him obey his conscience.
- James Freeman Clarke
The only thing worse than an active conscience is one that's retroactive.
- Harold Coffin
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
But then science is nothing but a series of questions that lead to more questions.
- Terry Pratchett
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
- Robert A Heinlein
Dad claims that library science is the foundation of all sciences just
as math is the key -- and we will survive or founder, depending on how
well the librarians do their jobs. Librarians didn't look glamorous to
me but maybe Dad had hit on a not very obvious truth.
- Robert A Heinlein
Conscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
- Joseph Cook
Anyone who claims to have an entirely clear conscience is almost certainly a bore.
- Bernard Cornwell
Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.
- Donald Knuth
People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones.
- Donald Knuth
I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way.
- Michael Crichton
Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other.
- Michael Crichton
The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.
- Neil Degrasse Tyson
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
- Aleister Crowley
Some of the FDA's own scientists have charged that politics, not science, is behind the FDA's actions.
- Joseph Crowley
After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
- Marie Curie
In these days when science is clearly in the saddle and when our knowledge of disease is advancing at a breathless pace, we are apt to forget that not all can ride and that he also serves who waits and who applies what the horseman discovers.

C.S. Lewis said that conscience is nothing more than the voice of God within our souls; the bridge that links the creature to the creator
- Dinesh D Souza
Science is the poetry of reality.
- Richard Dawkins
There's real poetry in the real world. Science is the poetry of reality
- Richard Dawkins
Isaac Asimov's remark about the infantilism of pseudoscience is just as applicable to religion: 'Inspect every piece of pseudoscience and you will find a security blanket, a thumb to suck, a skirt to hold.' It is astonishing, moreover, how many people are unable to understand that 'X is comforting' does not imply 'X is true'.
- Richard Dawkins
Science is interesting, and if you don't agree you can fuck off.
Note: Dawkins was quoting a former editor of New Scientist Magazine, who is as yet unidentified (possibly Jeremy Webb)
- Richard Dawkins
Science coverage could be improved by the recognition that science is timeless, and therefore science stories should not need to be pegged to an item in the news.
- Richard Dawkins
Science is magic that works.
- Kurt Vonnegut
Science is often misrepresented as "the body of knowledge acquired by performing replicated controlled experiments in the laboratory." Actually, science is something broader: the acquisition of reliable knowledge about the world.
- Jared Diamond
Science is a tool of Common Sense. When we insist that all valid information come from science or doctors, Common Sense becomes uncommon or lost forever.
- Richard Diaz
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
- Edsger Dijkstra
All science is experiential; but all experience must be related back to and derives its its validity from the conditions and context of consciousness in which it arises, i.e., the totality of our nature.
- Wilhelm Dilthey
Why does my action strike them as so horrible? Is it because it was a crime? What is meant by crime? My conscience is at rest. Of course, it was a legal crime, of course, the letter of the law was broken and blood was shed. Well, punish me for the letter of the law...and that's enough.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Truth in science is always determined from observational facts.
- David Douglass
I follow my conscience - and this is upsetting to some people, but I maintain the conscience is going to be the only thing between us and communication in the future.
- Matt Drudge
It takes a fearless, unflinching love and deep humility to accept the universe as it is. The most effective way he knew to accomplish that, the most powerful tool at his disposal, was the scientific method, which over time winnows out deception. It can't give you absolute truth because science is a permanent revolution, always subject to revision, but it can give you successive approximations of reality.
- Ann Druyan
Science is the poetry of the intellect and poetry the science of the heart's affections.
- Lawrence Durrell
I spent my adult life as a scientist, and science is, essentially, the most successful approach we have to try and understand the vast mysteries around.
- David Eagleman
If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident.
- Mary Baker Eddy
Conscience is the authentic voice of God to you.
- Rutherford B Hayes
The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil
- Albert Schweitzer
Conscience is harder than our enemies, knows more, accuses with more nicety.
- George Eliot
Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.
- George Eliot
A 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 Faulkner
Conscience is the window of our spirit, evil is the curtain.
- Douglas Horton
Science is essentially an anarchic enterprise: theoretical anarchism is more humanitarian and more likely to encourage progress than its law-and-order alternatives.
- Paul Feyerabend
Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it.
- Richard P Feynman
Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.
- Richard P Feynman
Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.
- Richard P Feynman
Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
- Richard P Feynman
Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.
- Richard P Feynman
If you thought you were trying to find out more about it because you're gonna get an answer to some deep philosophical question...you may be wrong! It may be that you can't get an answer to that particular question by finding out more about the character of nature. But my interest in science is to simply find out about the world.
- Richard P Feynman
... a good conscience is never lawless in the worst regulated state, and will provide those laws for itself, which the neglect of legislators hath forgotten to supply.
- Henry Fielding
Science is what scientists do.
- Dennis Flanagan
I have come to have the firm conviction that vanity is the basis of everything, and finally that what one calls conscience is only inner vanity.
- Gustave Flaubert
American science is much more organized, much more hierarchical than British science has been.
- Martin Fleischmann
I am a caricature of what British science is about in the way I work.
- Martin Fleischmann
I think British science is becoming more like American science - and then there is everybody else, I'm afraid.
- Martin Fleischmann
Conscience is God present in man.
- Victor Hugo
...Man has a tyrant, ignorance. I voted for the demise of that particular tyrant. That particular tyrant has engendered royalty, which is authority based on falsehood, whereas science is authority based on truth. Man should be governed by science alone."
"And conscience," added the bishop.
"It's the same thing. Conscience is the quota of innate science we each have inside us.
- Victor Hugo
Science is beginning to catch up with global health problems.
- William Foege
The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.
- B C Forbes
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
- Carl Sagan
Scientists make mistakes. Accordingly, it is the job of the scientist to recognize our weakness, to examine the widest range of opinions, to be ruthlessly self-critical. Science is a collective enterprise with the error-correction machinery often running smoothly.
- Carl Sagan
Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage - at the very least the courage to to question the conventional wisdom.
- Carl Sagan
Science is only a Latin word for knowledge
- Carl Sagan
There are many hypotheses in science that are wrong. That's perfectly alright; it's 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 Sagan
I would suggest that science is, at least in my part, informed worship.
- Carl Sagan
Science is far from a perfect instrument of knowledge. It's just the best we have. In this respect, as in many others, it's like democracy. Science by itself cannot advocate courses of human action, but it can certainly illuminate the possible consequences of alternative courses of action.
- Carl Sagan
Science is a way to call the bluff of those who only pretend to knowledge. It is a bulwark against mysticism, against superstition, against religion misapplied to where it has no business being.
- Carl Sagan
At the heart of science is an essential tension between two seemingly contradictory attitueds--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new.
- Carl Sagan
There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That's perfectly all right: it's the aperture to finding out what's right. Science is a self-correcting process.
- Carl Sagan
Pseudoscience is embraced, it might be argued, in exact proportion as real science is misunderstood.
- Carl Sagan
Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer a safe course. Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women to death.
- Carl Sagan
Cutting off fundamental, curiosity-driven science is like eating the seed corn. We may have a little more to eat next winter but what will we plant so we and our children will have enough to get through the winters to come?
- Carl Sagan
...that kind of skeptical questioning, don't accept what authority tells you -attitude of science- is also nearly identical to the attitude of mind necessary for a functioning democracy. Science and democracy have very consonant values and approaches, and I don't think you can have one without the other.
- Carl Sagan
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
- Carl Sagan
Science seeks the truth. And it does not discriminate. For better or worse it finds things out. Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesn't know. It bases its conclusions and beliefs on hard evidence --- evidence that is constantly updated and upgraded. It doesn't get offended when new facts come along. It embraces the body of knowledge. It doesn't hold on to medieval practices because they are tradition.
- Ricky Gervais
Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.
- Walter Gilbert
Science is analytical, descriptive, informative. Man does not live by bread alone, but by science he attempts to do so. Hence the deadliness of all that is purely scientific.
- Eric Gill
The disease of an evil conscience is beyond the practice of all the physicians of all the countries in the would.
- William E Gladstone
A science is any discipline in which the fool of this generation can go beyond the point reached by the genius of the last generation.

Conscience is a man's compass.
- Vincent Van Gogh
Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.
- Oliver Goldsmith
HGH testing is happening in Olympics. The science is there. It is a valid test.
- Roger Goodell
But my favorite of Einstein's words on religion is "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." I like this because both science and religion are needed to answer life's great questions.
- Temple Grandin
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding..
- Brian Greene
Some people may believe that their conscience is enough to guide them not to lie, be deceitful or do the other things God has commanded us not to do. I disagree.
- Lee Greenwood
Science, at its core, is simply a method of practical logic that tests hypotheses against experience. Scientism, by contrast, is the worldview and value system that insists that the questions the scientific method can answer are the most important questions human beings can ask, and that the picture of the world yielded by science is a better approximation to reality than any other.
- John Michael Greer
The end of science is not to prove a theory, but to improve mankind.
- Manly Hall
The core of science is not controlled experiment or mathetical modeling; it is intellectual honesty. It is time we acknowledge a basic feature of human discourse: when considering the truth of a proposition, one is either engaged in an honest appraisal of the evidence and logical arguments, or one isn't.
- Sam Harris
The core of science is not a mathematical modeling--it is intellectual honesty. It is a willingness to have our certainties about the world constrained by good evidence and good argument.
- Sam Harris
The truth, however, is that the conflict between religion and science is unavoidable. The success of science often comes at the expense of religious dogma; the maintenance of religious dogma always comes at the expense of science.
- Sam Harris
Science is his forte, and omniscience his foible.
- Sydney Smith
Living with a conscience is like driving with the brakes on.
- Budd Schulberg
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
- Stephen Hawking
Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.
- David Hilbert
Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.
- Edmund Hillary
Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.
- Hippocrates
Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another.
- Thomas Hobbes
Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.
- Elbert Hubbard
A science is something which is constructed from truth on workable axioms. There are 55 axioms in scientology which are very demonstrably true, and on these can be constructed a great deal.
- L Ron Hubbard
It isn't only art that is incompatible with happiness, it's also science. Science is dangerous, we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled.
- Aldous Huxley
I was a pretty good physicist in my time. Too goodgood enough to realize that all our science is just a cookery book, with an orthodox theory of cooking that nobody's allowed to question, and a list of recipes that mustn't be added to except by special permission from the head cook.
- Aldous Huxley
Science [is] that wonderfully convenient personification of the opinions, at a certain date, of Professors X, Y, and Z...
- Aldous Huxley
All our science is just a cookery book, with an orthodox theory of cooking that nobody's allowed to question, and a list of recipes that mustn't be added to except by special permission from the head cook.
- Aldous Huxley
Science is nothing, but trained and organized common sense.
- Thomas Huxley
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
- Thomas Huxley
Ecclesiasticism in science is only unfaithfulness to truth.
- Thomas Huxley
Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.
- Thomas Huxley
The world is my country, science is my religion.
- Christiaan Huygens
The glory of science is, that it is freeing the soul, breaking the mental manacles, getting the brain out of bondage, giving courage to thought, filling the world with mercy, justice, and joy.
- Robert Green Ingersoll
Courage without conscience is a wild beast.
- Robert Green Ingersoll
One of the strongest motives that leads men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness. Such men make this cosmos and its construction the pivot of their emotional life, in order to find the peace and security which they cannot find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.
- Walter Isaacson
One of the advantages of science is that one's work, ultimately, is either replicated or it is not.
- Kay Redfield Jamison
Science is the international language, so when we are able to convince countries that good decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science, that's a real success story for us.
- Mike Johanns
Evolutionary naturalism takes the inherent limitations of science and turns them into a devastating philosophical weapon: because science is our only real way of knowing anything, what science cannot know cannot be real.
- Phillip E Johnson
The history of science is the saga of nature defying common sense.
- Kedar Joshi
I think that if there are positions that you can't argue... then the responsibility is probably to resign. If one's own conscience is opposed to the requirements and responsibilities of the job, then it's time to leave the job.

It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.

I learned a long time ago with you that folks who were trying to be kind would rather do it with a macaroni-and-cheese bake than any personal involvement.

Science is a field which grows continuously with ever expanding frontiers.
- John Bardeen
Conscience is the perfect interpreter of life.
- Karl Barth
The heart of it all is mystery, and science is at best only the peripheral trappings to that mystery--a ragged barbed-wire fence through which mystery travels, back and forth, unencumbered by anything so frail as man's knowledge.
- Rick Bass
Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Science is the topography of ignorance.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted.
- Michael Behe
Freedom of conscience is the core of all freedom
- Pope Benedict Xvi
The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part, but a critically important part, of economy and social development.
- John Desmond Bernal
Art is I; science is we.
- Claude Bernard
Science is a trigger of changes of civilization.
Religion is the failsafe of science performance.
- Toba Beta
Philanthropist. A rich (and usually bald) old gentleman who has trained himself to grin while his conscience is picking his pocket..
- Ambrose Bierce
Science is better than sympathy, if only it is science.
- E M Forster
In this time of budget cuts, we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age.
- Tim Bishop
Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
- William Blake
Thou knowest that these things which I say are true, and that I was never delighted in my own praise, for the secret of a good conscience is in some sort diminished, when by declaring what he hath done, a man receiveth the reward of fame.
- Boethius
The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it.
- Edward De Bono
Love is too young to know what conscience is.
- William Shakespeare
Conscience is but a word that cowards use,
Devis'd at first to keep the strong in awe:
Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law.
March on, join bravely, let us to't pell-mell;
If not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell.
- William Shakespeare
Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.
- Ray Bradbury
They blended religion and art and science because, at base, science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.
- Ray Bradbury
Science is the only news. When you scan a news portal or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same cyclical dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness; even the technology is predictable if you know the science behind it. Human nature doesn't change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly
- Stewart Brand
The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error.
- Bertolt Brecht
Conscience is like a pet: If you spoil it by too much attention it'll start yipping at the most inopportune times.
- Connie Brockway
unless the direction of science is guided by a consciously ethical motivation, especially compassion, its effects may fail to bring benefit. They may indeed cause great harm.
- Dalai Lama
Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand.
- Dan Brown
Faith does not protect you. Medicine and airbags... Those are the things that protect you. God does not protect you. Intelligence protects you. Enlightenment. Put your faith in something with tangible results. How long has it been since someone walked on water? Modern miracles belong to science.. Computers, vaccines, space stations... Even the devine miracle of creation. Matter from nothing... In a lab. Who needs God? No! Science is God!
- Dan Brown
I realize the odds, and science, are against me. But science is not the total answer; this I know, this I have learned in my lifetime. And that leaves me with the belief that miracles, no matter how inexplicable or unbelievable, are real and can occur without regard to the natural order of things.
- Nicholas Sparks
A good conscience is a continual feast.
- Robert Burton
The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul.
- John Calvin
Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature.
- Luther Burbank
Conscience is the virtue of observers and not of agents of action.
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
To pursue science is not to disparage the things of the spirit. In fact, to pursue science rightly is to furnish the framework on which the spirit may rise.
- Vannevar Bush
One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
- Albert Einstein
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Albert Einstein
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
- Albert Einstein
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
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
- Albert Einstein
Science is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
- Albert Einstein
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
- Albert Einstein
No, moral conscience is one thing, the law is another. We have to hold onto this difference.
- Rocco Buttiglione
A good conscience is a continual Christmas.
- Benjamin Franklin
Conscience is no more than the dead speaking to us.
- Jim Carroll
The development of physics, like the development of any science, is a continuous one.
- Owen Chamberlain
Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.
- Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question "How?" but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question "Why?"
- Erwin Chargaff
To endeavor to domineer over conscience, is to invade the citadel of heaven.
- King Charles V
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
- Bertrand Russell
Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know.
- Bertrand Russell
The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell.
- Bertrand Russell
Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
- Stephen Jay Gould
Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information; it is a creative human activity.
- Stephen Jay Gould
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
- Noam Chomsky
Science is a bit like the joke about the drunk who is looking under a lamppost for a key that he has lost on the other side of the street, because that's where the light is. It has no other choice.
- Noam Chomsky
We must revisit the idea that science is a methodology and not an ontology.
- Deepak Chopra
Science is the only religion of mankind.
- Arthur C Clarke
Conscience is the root of all true courage; if a man would be brave let him obey his conscience.
- James Freeman Clarke
The only thing worse than an active conscience is one that's retroactive.
- Harold Coffin
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
But then science is nothing but a series of questions that lead to more questions.
- Terry Pratchett
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
- Robert A Heinlein
Dad claims that library science is the foundation of all sciences just
as math is the key -- and we will survive or founder, depending on how
well the librarians do their jobs. Librarians didn't look glamorous to
me but maybe Dad had hit on a not very obvious truth.
- Robert A Heinlein
Conscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.
- Joseph Cook
Anyone who claims to have an entirely clear conscience is almost certainly a bore.
- Bernard Cornwell
Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.
- Donald Knuth
People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones.
- Donald Knuth
I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way.
- Michael Crichton
Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other.
- Michael Crichton
The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.
- Neil Degrasse Tyson
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
- Aleister Crowley
Some of the FDA's own scientists have charged that politics, not science, is behind the FDA's actions.
- Joseph Crowley
After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
- Marie Curie
In these days when science is clearly in the saddle and when our knowledge of disease is advancing at a breathless pace, we are apt to forget that not all can ride and that he also serves who waits and who applies what the horseman discovers.
- Harvey Cushing
C.S. Lewis said that conscience is nothing more than the voice of God within our souls; the bridge that links the creature to the creator
- Dinesh D Souza
Science is the poetry of reality.
- Richard Dawkins
There's real poetry in the real world. Science is the poetry of reality
- Richard Dawkins
Isaac Asimov's remark about the infantilism of pseudoscience is just as applicable to religion: 'Inspect every piece of pseudoscience and you will find a security blanket, a thumb to suck, a skirt to hold.' It is astonishing, moreover, how many people are unable to understand that 'X is comforting' does not imply 'X is true'.
- Richard Dawkins
Science is interesting, and if you don't agree you can fuck off.
Note: Dawkins was quoting a former editor of New Scientist Magazine, who is as yet unidentified (possibly Jeremy Webb)
- Richard Dawkins
Science coverage could be improved by the recognition that science is timeless, and therefore science stories should not need to be pegged to an item in the news.
- Richard Dawkins
Science is magic that works.
- Kurt Vonnegut
Science is often misrepresented as "the body of knowledge acquired by performing replicated controlled experiments in the laboratory." Actually, science is something broader: the acquisition of reliable knowledge about the world.
- Jared Diamond
Science is a tool of Common Sense. When we insist that all valid information come from science or doctors, Common Sense becomes uncommon or lost forever.
- Richard Diaz
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
- Edsger Dijkstra
All science is experiential; but all experience must be related back to and derives its its validity from the conditions and context of consciousness in which it arises, i.e., the totality of our nature.
- Wilhelm Dilthey
Why does my action strike them as so horrible? Is it because it was a crime? What is meant by crime? My conscience is at rest. Of course, it was a legal crime, of course, the letter of the law was broken and blood was shed. Well, punish me for the letter of the law...and that's enough.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Truth in science is always determined from observational facts.
- David Douglass
I follow my conscience - and this is upsetting to some people, but I maintain the conscience is going to be the only thing between us and communication in the future.
- Matt Drudge
It takes a fearless, unflinching love and deep humility to accept the universe as it is. The most effective way he knew to accomplish that, the most powerful tool at his disposal, was the scientific method, which over time winnows out deception. It can't give you absolute truth because science is a permanent revolution, always subject to revision, but it can give you successive approximations of reality.
- Ann Druyan
Science is the poetry of the intellect and poetry the science of the heart's affections.
- Lawrence Durrell
I spent my adult life as a scientist, and science is, essentially, the most successful approach we have to try and understand the vast mysteries around.
- David Eagleman
If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident.
- Mary Baker Eddy
Conscience is the authentic voice of God to you.
- Rutherford B Hayes
The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil
- Albert Schweitzer
Conscience is harder than our enemies, knows more, accuses with more nicety.
- George Eliot
Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.
- George Eliot
A 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 Faulkner
Conscience is the window of our spirit, evil is the curtain.
- Douglas Horton
Science is essentially an anarchic enterprise: theoretical anarchism is more humanitarian and more likely to encourage progress than its law-and-order alternatives.
- Paul Feyerabend
Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it.
- Richard P Feynman
Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.
- Richard P Feynman
Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.
- Richard P Feynman
Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
- Richard P Feynman
Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.
- Richard P Feynman
If you thought you were trying to find out more about it because you're gonna get an answer to some deep philosophical question...you may be wrong! It may be that you can't get an answer to that particular question by finding out more about the character of nature. But my interest in science is to simply find out about the world.
- Richard P Feynman
... a good conscience is never lawless in the worst regulated state, and will provide those laws for itself, which the neglect of legislators hath forgotten to supply.
- Henry Fielding
Science is what scientists do.
- Dennis Flanagan
I have come to have the firm conviction that vanity is the basis of everything, and finally that what one calls conscience is only inner vanity.
- Gustave Flaubert
American science is much more organized, much more hierarchical than British science has been.
- Martin Fleischmann
I am a caricature of what British science is about in the way I work.
- Martin Fleischmann
I think British science is becoming more like American science - and then there is everybody else, I'm afraid.
- Martin Fleischmann
Conscience is God present in man.
- Victor Hugo
...Man has a tyrant, ignorance. I voted for the demise of that particular tyrant. That particular tyrant has engendered royalty, which is authority based on falsehood, whereas science is authority based on truth. Man should be governed by science alone."
"And conscience," added the bishop.
"It's the same thing. Conscience is the quota of innate science we each have inside us.
- Victor Hugo
Science is beginning to catch up with global health problems.
- William Foege
The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.
- B C Forbes
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
- Carl Sagan
Scientists make mistakes. Accordingly, it is the job of the scientist to recognize our weakness, to examine the widest range of opinions, to be ruthlessly self-critical. Science is a collective enterprise with the error-correction machinery often running smoothly.
- Carl Sagan
Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage - at the very least the courage to to question the conventional wisdom.
- Carl Sagan
Science is only a Latin word for knowledge
- Carl Sagan
There are many hypotheses in science that are wrong. That's perfectly alright; it's 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 Sagan
I would suggest that science is, at least in my part, informed worship.
- Carl Sagan
Science is far from a perfect instrument of knowledge. It's just the best we have. In this respect, as in many others, it's like democracy. Science by itself cannot advocate courses of human action, but it can certainly illuminate the possible consequences of alternative courses of action.
- Carl Sagan
Science is a way to call the bluff of those who only pretend to knowledge. It is a bulwark against mysticism, against superstition, against religion misapplied to where it has no business being.
- Carl Sagan
At the heart of science is an essential tension between two seemingly contradictory attitueds--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new.
- Carl Sagan
There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That's perfectly all right: it's the aperture to finding out what's right. Science is a self-correcting process.
- Carl Sagan
Pseudoscience is embraced, it might be argued, in exact proportion as real science is misunderstood.
- Carl Sagan
Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer a safe course. Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women to death.
- Carl Sagan
Cutting off fundamental, curiosity-driven science is like eating the seed corn. We may have a little more to eat next winter but what will we plant so we and our children will have enough to get through the winters to come?
- Carl Sagan
...that kind of skeptical questioning, don't accept what authority tells you -attitude of science- is also nearly identical to the attitude of mind necessary for a functioning democracy. Science and democracy have very consonant values and approaches, and I don't think you can have one without the other.
- Carl Sagan
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
- Carl Sagan
Science seeks the truth. And it does not discriminate. For better or worse it finds things out. Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesn't know. It bases its conclusions and beliefs on hard evidence --- evidence that is constantly updated and upgraded. It doesn't get offended when new facts come along. It embraces the body of knowledge. It doesn't hold on to medieval practices because they are tradition.
- Ricky Gervais
Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.
- Walter Gilbert
Science is analytical, descriptive, informative. Man does not live by bread alone, but by science he attempts to do so. Hence the deadliness of all that is purely scientific.
- Eric Gill
The disease of an evil conscience is beyond the practice of all the physicians of all the countries in the would.
- William E Gladstone
A science is any discipline in which the fool of this generation can go beyond the point reached by the genius of the last generation.
- Max Gluckman
Conscience is a man's compass.
- Vincent Van Gogh
Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.
- Oliver Goldsmith
HGH testing is happening in Olympics. The science is there. It is a valid test.
- Roger Goodell
But my favorite of Einstein's words on religion is "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." I like this because both science and religion are needed to answer life's great questions.
- Temple Grandin
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding..
- Brian Greene
Some people may believe that their conscience is enough to guide them not to lie, be deceitful or do the other things God has commanded us not to do. I disagree.
- Lee Greenwood
Science, at its core, is simply a method of practical logic that tests hypotheses against experience. Scientism, by contrast, is the worldview and value system that insists that the questions the scientific method can answer are the most important questions human beings can ask, and that the picture of the world yielded by science is a better approximation to reality than any other.
- John Michael Greer
The end of science is not to prove a theory, but to improve mankind.
- Manly Hall
The core of science is not controlled experiment or mathetical modeling; it is intellectual honesty. It is time we acknowledge a basic feature of human discourse: when considering the truth of a proposition, one is either engaged in an honest appraisal of the evidence and logical arguments, or one isn't.
- Sam Harris
The core of science is not a mathematical modeling--it is intellectual honesty. It is a willingness to have our certainties about the world constrained by good evidence and good argument.
- Sam Harris
The truth, however, is that the conflict between religion and science is unavoidable. The success of science often comes at the expense of religious dogma; the maintenance of religious dogma always comes at the expense of science.
- Sam Harris
Science is his forte, and omniscience his foible.
- Sydney Smith
Living with a conscience is like driving with the brakes on.
- Budd Schulberg
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
- Stephen Hawking
Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.
- David Hilbert
Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.
- Edmund Hillary
Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.
- Hippocrates
Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another.
- Thomas Hobbes
Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.
- Elbert Hubbard
A science is something which is constructed from truth on workable axioms. There are 55 axioms in scientology which are very demonstrably true, and on these can be constructed a great deal.
- L Ron Hubbard
It isn't only art that is incompatible with happiness, it's also science. Science is dangerous, we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled.
- Aldous Huxley
I was a pretty good physicist in my time. Too goodgood enough to realize that all our science is just a cookery book, with an orthodox theory of cooking that nobody's allowed to question, and a list of recipes that mustn't be added to except by special permission from the head cook.
- Aldous Huxley
Science [is] that wonderfully convenient personification of the opinions, at a certain date, of Professors X, Y, and Z...
- Aldous Huxley
All our science is just a cookery book, with an orthodox theory of cooking that nobody's allowed to question, and a list of recipes that mustn't be added to except by special permission from the head cook.
- Aldous Huxley
Science is nothing, but trained and organized common sense.
- Thomas Huxley
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
- Thomas Huxley
Ecclesiasticism in science is only unfaithfulness to truth.
- Thomas Huxley
Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.
- Thomas Huxley
The world is my country, science is my religion.
- Christiaan Huygens
The glory of science is, that it is freeing the soul, breaking the mental manacles, getting the brain out of bondage, giving courage to thought, filling the world with mercy, justice, and joy.
- Robert Green Ingersoll
Courage without conscience is a wild beast.
- Robert Green Ingersoll
One of the strongest motives that leads men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness. Such men make this cosmos and its construction the pivot of their emotional life, in order to find the peace and security which they cannot find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.
- Walter Isaacson
One of the advantages of science is that one's work, ultimately, is either replicated or it is not.
- Kay Redfield Jamison
Science is the international language, so when we are able to convince countries that good decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science, that's a real success story for us.
- Mike Johanns
Evolutionary naturalism takes the inherent limitations of science and turns them into a devastating philosophical weapon: because science is our only real way of knowing anything, what science cannot know cannot be real.
- Phillip E Johnson
The history of science is the saga of nature defying common sense.
- Kedar Joshi
I think that if there are positions that you can't argue... then the responsibility is probably to resign. If one's own conscience is opposed to the requirements and responsibilities of the job, then it's time to leave the job.
- Elena Kagan
