The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles.
Mahatma Gandhi
The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief... that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart.
Walter Lippmann
Science now finds itself in paradoxical strife with society: admired but mistrusted; offering hope for the future but creating ambiguous choice; richly supported yet unable to fulfill all its promise; boasting remarkable advances but criticized for not serving more directly the goals of society.
J. Michael Bishop
In human life, you will find players of religion until the knowledge and proficiency in religion will be cleansed from all superstitions, and will be purified and perfected by the enlightenment of real science.
Mustafa Kemal Atatrk
Science burrows its insulted head in the filth of slaughterous inventions
Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
The ancients had a taste, let us say rather a passion, for the marvellous, which caused them to forget even the sacred duties of gratitude. Observe them, for example, grouping together the lofty deeds of a great number of heroes, whose names they have not even deigned to preserve, and investing the single personage of Hercules with them. The lapse of ages has not rendered us wiser in this respect. In our own time the public delight in blending fable with history. In every career of life, in the pursuit of science especially, they enjoy a pleasure in creating Herculeses.
Franois Jean Dominique Arago
Engineering is the professional art of applying science to the optimum conversion of natural resources to the benefit of man.
Ralph J. Smith
Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology.
Rebecca West
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. They are engines of change, windows on the world, lighthouses erected in the sea of time.
Barbara W. Tuchman
The most remarkable discovery ever made by scientists, was science itself.
Jacob Bronowski
Knowledge and science are the coffers and caches to the treasures of Perfection; and the only access to them is to ask and question.
Ali al-Rida
Science always has its origin in the adaptation of thought to some definite field of experience.
Ernst Mach
Each one was a hero. Their contribution to science and space exploration will never be forgotten.
Jean Chretien
If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships -- the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
