Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest.

Modern science says: ‚The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.‘ From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.

Science is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It’s a question of how those tools are used by people.

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control.

In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances, invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.

Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.

Understanding science and pushing the boundaries of science is what makes me immensely satisfied.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

As a Humanist, I love science. I hate superstition, which could never have given us A-bombs.

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

There is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.

Science arose from poetry… when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.

Is evolution a theory, a system, or an hypothesis? It is much more: it is a general condition to which all theories, all hypotheses, all systems must bow and which they must satisfy henceforward if they are to be thinkable and true.

The greatest progress is in the sciences that study the simplest systems. So take, say, physics – greatest progress there. But one of the reasons is that the physicists have an advantage that no other branch of sciences has. If something gets too complicated, they hand it to someone else.

The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‚Eureka!‘ but ‚That’s funny…‘

Creationists make it sound as though a ‚theory‘ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.

I had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.

Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn’t even nothing or once.

Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

Jurisdictions across the U.S. are snapping up algorithms as tools to help judges make bail and bond decisions. They’re being sold as race- and gender-neutral assessments that allow judges to use science in determining whether someone will behave if released from jail pending trial.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.

Science has revealed that the human body is made up of millions and millions of atoms… For example, I am made up of 5.8×10 27 atoms.

I’ve always been interested in science – one of my favourite books is James Watson’s ‚Molecular Biology of the Gene.‘

The product of mental labor – science – always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.

I read the ‚Old Testament‘ all the way through when I was about 13 and was horrified. A few months afterwards I read ‚The Origin Of Species‘, hallucinating very mildly because I was in bed with flu at the time. Despite that, or because of that, it all made perfect sense.

We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.

Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants.

I’m never going to go to Mars, but I’ve helped inspire, thank goodness, the people who built the rockets and sent our photographic equipment off to Mars.

I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.

No matter what engineering field you’re in, you learn the same basic science and mathematics. And then maybe you learn a little bit about how to apply it.

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

All writers are going to have to learn more about science, because it’s such an interesting part of their environment.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

Science is but an image of the truth.

Gravitation is, so far, not understandable in terms of other phenomena.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.

Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.

Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.

He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.

We will explore the mysteries of science and harness the power of technology and innovation. We will realise the opportunities of the digital world. Our youth will learn more from – and with – each other.

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.

I was a very keen reader of science fiction, and during the time I was going to libraries, it was good, written by people who knew their science.

I grew up with the biologists. I know how they think.

Ever since Newton, we’ve done science by taking things apart to see how they work. What the computer enables us to do is to put things together to see how they work: we’re now synthesized rather than analysed. I find one of the most enthralling aspects of computers is limitless communication.

I am a little too absorbed by science to be able to philosophise much; but the more I look into myself, the more I find myself possessed by the conviction that it is only the science of Christ running through all things, that is to say true mystical science, that really matters. I let myself get caught up in the game when I geologise.

My brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way.

Science and fiction both begin with similar questions: What if? Why? How does it all work? But they focus on different areas of life on earth.

It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe. We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence.

Nature never breaks her own laws.

It 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.
