Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one’s living at it.

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

‚Via Dolorosa‘ is the only thing I have ever acted in my life, professionally, and I’ll never act again.

It 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.

If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.

Every time I try to retire, or even think of retiring from acting, my agent comes up with a script.

I guess you could say it’s always been my destiny to be a performer.

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

I’ve always been amazed by Da Vinci, because he worked out science on his own. He would work by drawing things and writing down his ideas. Of course, he designed all sorts of flying machines way before you could actually build something like that.

It’s a small percentage of people who do the 80-hour-a-week high-powered career thing, and they’re almost all men. Why? Well, men are driven by socio-economic status more than women.

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.

There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.

The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.

Quarks came in a number of varieties – in fact, at first, only three were needed to explain all the hundreds of particles and the different kinds of quarks – they are called u-type, d-type, s-type.

Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love.

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.

I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.

It is easy to say how we love new friends, and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibers that knit us to the old.

Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap – it is all in the mind.

Any man who has had the job I’ve had and didn’t have a sense of humor wouldn’t still be here.

Wonder is the basis of worship.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.

It’s been wonderful for me, and I feel so privileged to have fans that are that loyal.

I love those who do not know how to live for today.

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.

My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.

God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.

You’ve got to invest in the world, you’ve got to read, you’ve got to go to art galleries, you’ve got to find out the names of plants. You’ve got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We’re amazing people.

English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese.

When we really worship anything, we love not only its clearness but its obscurity. We exult in its very invisibility.

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.

Few men would dare to read their own autobiography if all their deeds were recorded in it; few can look back upon their entire career without a blush.

There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.

Wisdom begins in wonder.

Before I became a chief minister, I never thought that one day I’d be the chief minister.

I knew I’d be in the UFC since I started my career.

I don’t want flowers or candy or anything like that. I just want somebody to say, ‚Wow, you’ve done a great job.‘

Research is creating new knowledge.

I did 20 years in the Navy. I joined the Navy right out of high school and went through Navy boot camp, went to SEAL training, got done with that, and then showed up at a SEAL team, where I did 20 years. That was pretty much my whole adult life.

New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.

It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.

I was 18 years old, and it was a dream come true for me to work out and eat great food for free. What else do you want in life? People think that is what it is like to be in a SEAL team, but it is less than a fraction of your career as a real SEAL.

Every man supposes himself not to be fully understood or appreciated.

It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.

ESPN is a great organization to work for.

I have no definite talent or trade, and how I stay alive is largely a matter of magic.

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.

I’m not looking to get away from anything. I like what I’ve done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

My son likes to go see mines and electric plants, or the Large Hadron Collider, and we’ve had a chance to see a lot of interesting stuff.

As I’ve said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hopes for Iraqis‘ future.

The making of the far-famed New York Central Park was opposed by even good men, with misguided pluck, perseverance, and ingenuity, but straight right won its way, and now that park is appreciated. So we confidently believe it will be with our great national parks and forest reservations.

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

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
