At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession.
Queen Elizabeth IIA people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Dwight D. EisenhowerI think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.
Elon MuskIt was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
Charles DickensIt is absolutely impossible to transcend the laws of nature. What can change in historically different circumstances is only the form in which these laws expose themselves.
Karl MarxSuccess is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Oscar WildeThere is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.
Thomas JeffersonOur strategic dialogue with China can both protect American interests and uphold our principles, provided we are honest about our differences on human rights and other issues and provided we use a mix of targeted incentives and sanctions to narrow these differences.
Madeleine AlbrightThe earth laughs in flowers.
Ralph Waldo EmersonSuccess is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
Jim RohnFreedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.
Baruch SpinozaWhen we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.
Jimmy CarterIt is easier to feel than to realize, or in any way explain, Yosemite grandeur. The magnitudes of the rocks and trees and streams are so delicately harmonized, they are mostly hidden.
John MuirIt is written on the arched sky; it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.
John RuskinNature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
Jean-Jacques RousseauIt’s like a muscle – if you stop going to the gym or stop running, you get weak. The military teaches you these great values, but we don’t keep up the discipline on our own, and we lose it. So wherever you go, keep that discipline up.
David GogginsI was not an anthropology student prior to the war. I took it up as part of a personal readjustment following some bewildering experiences as an infantryman and later as a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany. The science of the Study of Man has been extremely satisfactory from that personal standpoint.
Kurt VonnegutNature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise PascalGreat ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.
Napoleon BonaparteScience is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began.
Jane GoodallUnderstanding science and pushing the boundaries of science is what makes me immensely satisfied.
Bill GatesIt was morning; through the high window I saw the pure, bright blue of the sky as it hovered cheerfully over the long roofs of the neighboring houses. It too seemed full of joy, as if it had special plans, and had put on its finest clothes for the occasion.
Hermann HesseGod Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis BaconArt is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.
Elbert HubbardLanguage is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.
Noam ChomskyI have a big following among the biogeeks of this world. Nobody ever puts them in books.
Margaret AtwoodConsistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
Aldous HuxleyThere are trees of a thousand sorts, and all have their several fruits; and I feel the most unhappy man in the world not to know them, for I am well assured that they are all valuable. I bring home specimens of them, and also of the land.
Christopher ColumbusThe study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
Marcus Tullius CiceroEverything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.
Bob MarleyIt is not scientifically possible to accurately predict the outcome of an action. To suggest otherwise runs contrary to historical experience and the nature of war.
Jim MattisIt is the nature of all greatness not to be exact.
Edmund BurkeFrom the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where the rules do not work – not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules.
Richard P. FeynmanI’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.
E. E. CummingsIn all private quarrels the duller nature is triumphant by reason of dullness.
George EliotThe best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.
George Bernard ShawPart of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared. And the country’s scared.
Barack ObamaHaving a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing seems to me to be one of the most basic principles that you can adopt to contribute to individual and world peace.
Wayne DyerNo better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.
Oscar WildeWhat is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIt’s just trying to do the best job I can in these opportunities that I get to show what I can do, be consistent, have good feedback, be fast, at the same time not make mistakes.
Lando NorrisNature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.
Henry David ThoreauTrue Scouts are the best friends of animals, for from living in the woods and wilds, and practising observation and tracking, they get to know more than other people about the ways and habits of birds and animals, and therefore they understand them and are more in sympathy with them.
Robert Baden-PowellI like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
Oscar WildeBefore I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.
Stephen HawkingI suppose we need not go mourning the buffaloes. In the nature of things, they had to give place to better cattle, though the change might have been made without barbarous wickedness.
John MuirTherefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
AristotleAlways have something beautiful in sight, even if it’s just a daisy in a jelly glass.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.
Stephen HawkingMusic is not math. It’s science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
Bruno MarsFlowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIf future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.
Lyndon B. JohnsonSlave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature’s God.
Alexander PopeScience has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous HuxleyHave you ever watched a crab on the shore crawling backward in search of the Atlantic Ocean, and missing? That’s the way the mind of man operates.
H. L. Mencken‚O sleep, O gentle sleep,‘ I thought gratefully, ‚Nature’s soft nurse!‘
Elizabeth KennyIn all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
AristotleI think Bible principles are principles for life.
Joel OsteenOnly that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone.
Baruch Spinoza
