The first scholarly edition of Magna Carta was published by the eminent jurist William Blackstone. It was not an easy task. There was no good text available.
Noam ChomskyFaith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.
Blaise PascalIf we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
Albert EinsteinThe situation in the sciences is this: A concept or an idea which cannot be measured or cannot be referred directly to experiment may or may not be useful. It need not exist in a theory.
Richard P. FeynmanThe study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
Marcus Tullius CiceroThe world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamMost of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don’t fit in a very interesting way.
Brian EnoI don’t believe it. Prove it to me and I still won’t believe it.
Douglas AdamsI grew up thinking that a research scientist was a natural thing to be.
Stephen HawkingThere’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.
Christopher HitchensI’ve tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I’ll try to tailor-make it.
Dolly PartonMy publication record puts me in the top 0.5 percent of psychologists.
Jordan PetersonIt is always good to know which ideas cannot be checked directly, but it is not necessary to remove them all. It is not true that we can pursue science completely by using only those concepts which are directly subject to experiment.
Richard P. FeynmanA man will turn over half a library to make one book.
Samuel JohnsonAristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.
Bertrand RussellI’ve just finished my 20th book this past year and I’m working on my 21st book about the Middle East right now that I’ll finish this year. And I get up early in the morning and when I get tired of the computer and tired of doing research, I walk 20 steps out to my woodshop and I either build furniture or paint paintings. I’m an artist too.
Jimmy CarterTo study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal.
William JamesIn much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.
Neil ArmstrongIt is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.
Isaac NewtonScience is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Carl SaganA statement is persuasive and credible either because it is directly self-evident or because it appears to be proved from other statements that are so.
AristotleCosmology is a rapidly advancing field.
Stephen HawkingI don’t believe in signing anything and everything that comes my way. I leave it to my agency to help narrow them down for me, but I do research it myself before signing. The image of the brand and its ambassadors go hand in hand.
Virat KohliMany badly needed goals, like fusion and cancer cure, would be achieved much sooner if we invested more.
Stephen HawkingOn the RFactor model that comes with the ‚Pro-Sim,‘ everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you’re on a race weekend.
Lando NorrisNo sadder proof can be given by a man of his own littleness than disbelief in great men.
Thomas CarlyleNo one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.
Stephen HawkingSee first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise, you will only see what you were expecting. Most scientists forget that.
Douglas AdamsThe proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.
Isaac NewtonWe have to build the capacity of our institutions, employees and workers. Our regulatory environment has not been encouraging to research, innovation and enterprise.
Narendra ModiWhy should man’s first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition? Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction and expenditure?
John F. KennedyWhen I was researching my book ‚The 33 Strategies of War‘, I studied Napoleon extensively and I found myself wanting to ask Napoleon questions about things he did, and if was I interpreting his actions correctly.
Robert GreeneI can’t say that my disability has helped my work, but it has allowed me to concentrate on research without having to lecture or sit on boring committees.
Stephen HawkingI think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.
Galileo GalileiFacts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.
Mark TwainThere is not enough funding for basic sciences in India. We have to invest in a big way, and I am pushing that idea.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamIt has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value.
Arthur C. ClarkeEven with cameras being very cheap, one thing that researchers noticed was that you look really bad in a videoconference image because the lighting is bad and you get shadows and things.
Bill GatesIn the material sciences these are and have been, and are most surely likely to continue to be heroic days.
J. Robert OppenheimerAristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by examining his wives‘ mouths.
Bertrand RussellMy knowledge of electrical subjects was not acquired in a methodical manner but was picked up from such books as I could get hold of and from such experiments as I could make with my own hands.
Alexander Graham BellIn argument similes are like songs in love; they describe much, but prove nothing.
Franz KafkaWith impressive proof on all sides of magnificent progress, no one can rightly deny the fundamental correctness of our economic system.
Herbert HooverI think equation guessing might be the best method to proceed to obtain the laws for the part of physics which is presently unknown. Yet, when I was much younger, I tried this equation guessing, and I have seen many students try this, but it is very easy to go off in wildly incorrect and impossible directions.
Richard P. FeynmanI never experiment with anything in my books. Experimentation means you don’t know what you’re doing.
Paul AusterIt’s been proven by quite a few studies that plants are good for our psychological development. If you green an area, the rate of crime goes down. Torture victims begin to recover when they spend time outside in a garden with flowers. So we need them, in some deep psychological sense, which I don’t suppose anybody really understands yet.
Jane GoodallI thought my life was mapped out. Research, living in the forest, teaching and writing. But in ’86 I went to a conference and realised the chimpanzees were disappearing. I had worldwide recognition and a gift of communication. I had to use them.
Jane GoodallFaith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil GibranResearch shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school.
Bill GatesI don’t think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you’re willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn’t work. If you’re going to invent, it means you’re going to experiment, and if you’re going to experiment, you’re going to fail, and if you’re going to fail, you have to think long term.
Jeff BezosIf you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.
Mark ZuckerbergI don’t do research. I never have.
Ray BradburyFew professors would dare to publish research or teach a course debunking the claims made in various ethnic, gender, or other ‚studies‘ courses.
Thomas SowellScientists are not delinquents. Our work has changed the conditions in which men live, but the use made of these changes is the problem of governments, not of scientists.
J. Robert OppenheimerThe Internet is just another experiment showing us more sides of us.
Frank OceanI believe you’ve got to do your due diligence.
Kamala HarrisThe quality of research in the U.S. is absolutely the best.
Bill GatesI think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven’t tried that for a while. Maybe this time it’ll work.
George CarlinI have to be seen to be believed.
Queen Elizabeth IIIt’s not bragging if you can back it up.
Muhammad Ali
