Our conscience, which is a great ledger book, wherein are written all our offenses...grinds our souls with the remembrance of some precedent sins, makes us reflect upon, accuse and condemn ourselves.
Robert Burton
As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.
William Clark
They have cheveril consciences that will stretch.
Robert Burton
A record, if it is to be useful to science, must be continuously extended, it must be stored, and above all it must be consulted.
Vannevar Bush
On the wisdom with which we bring science to bear in the war against disease, in the creation of new industries, and in the strengthening of our Armed Forces depends in large measure our future as a nation.
Vannevar Bush
Sometimes I hate having a conscience, and a stupidly thorough sense of honor.
Jim Butcher
Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question "How?" but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question "Why?"
Erwin Chargaff
Magic is the science and the art of causing change to occur in conformity with will.
Peter J. Carroll
Science has brought us power and ideas but not the wisdom or responsibility to handle them.
Peter J. Carroll
The aim of science is to discover and illuminate truth. And that, I take it, is the aim of literature, whether biography or history or fiction. It seems to me, then, that there can be no separate literature of science.
Rachel Louise Carson
Knowledge is not happiness, and science But an exchange of ignorance for that Which is another kind of ignorance.
George Gordon (Noel) Byron, 6th Baron Byron
There are many who fear disgrace, few who fear conscience.
Bartholomew of San Concordio
Science knows it doesn't know everything; otherwise, it'd stop. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.
