In order to arrive at knowledge of the motions of birds in the air, it is first necessary to acquire knowledge of the winds, which we will prove by the motions of water in itself, and this knowledge will be a step enabling us to arrive at the knowledge of beings that fly between the air and the wind.
Leonardo da VinciI think the discovery of supersymmetric partners for the known particles would revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
Stephen HawkingWe’ve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
Carl SaganThe more I grow in popularity, the lonelier it gets. Because you don’t really know me. You just know this part of me. You fell in love with that. But it’s way more intricate than what meets the surface.
Kevin GatesThe man of science is a poor philosopher.
Albert EinsteinHundreds of people who’ve never written before send in ‚Dr. Who‘ scripts. They may have good ideas, but what they fail to realise is that writing for TV is incredibly complicated. They have no idea how difficult it is and what the financial commitment is.
Douglas AdamsI’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone – and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.
Barack ObamaThe most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‚Eureka!‘ but ‚That’s funny…‘
Isaac AsimovThe study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
Marcus Tullius CiceroI don’t want a brat on my team.
Abby Lee MillerPower is a complicated word and can take many forms.
Robert GreeneAs the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.
PlatoThe natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.
Thomas JeffersonOf course humans like to explore, and we should. There’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s more than that. It’s essential for your children and your children’s children.
Jeff BezosThe community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.
William JamesAnybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar WildeThe most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
Albert EinsteinRhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.
Theodore RooseveltInnovation is a good thing. The human condition – put aside bioterrorism and a few footnotes – is improving because of innovation.
Bill GatesMediocre theoretical physicists make no progress. They spend all their time understanding other people’s progress.
Jeff BezosI was approached about having my own network many, many years ago. There were some people who wanted to start up a network, and I didn’t want to get that involved in the business aspect of it.
Dolly PartonScience without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert EinsteinThe 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.
Fidel CastroI do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making.
Franklin D. RooseveltMaking a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
George LucasThe decisive moment in human evolution is perpetual. That is why the revolutionary spiritual movements that declare all former things worthless are in the right, for nothing has yet happened.
Franz KafkaConservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.
Benjamin DisraeliGenius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way.
Charles BukowskiNo man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
Andrew CarnegieThere are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.
Ronald ReaganWhile the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man’s humanity to man.
Maya AngelouNever look back unless you are planning to go that way.
Henry David ThoreauThere is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
George OrwellThe wind can be quite extreme in England. We are not familiar with that in Germany, and you have to keep things simple.
Jurgen KloppDeveloping nations want to become developed nations.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI’m so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!
Eleanor RooseveltA fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
George Bernard ShawI wrote a song with Ed Sheeran that was kind of spontaneous.
The WeekndThe point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.

Francis BaconThe United States fully accepts the profound truth that our own progress, prosperity, and peace are interlocked with the progress, prosperity, and peace of all humanity.
Herbert HooverChange happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right.
Jane GoodallThe 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. FeynmanI could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It’s not super-poetic, it’s just from the heart.
Bruno MarsI’ve always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it.
Richard P. FeynmanIt is not, of course, complete yet – but some sentences were understood this afternoon… I feel that I have at last struck the solution of a great problem – and the day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid onto houses just like water or gas – and friends converse with each other without leaving home.
Alexander Graham BellMy understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
BonoTogether, we can help make sure that every family that walks into a restaurant can make an easy, healthy choice.
Michelle ObamaI think people inspire me the most. If I meet a person who is incredibly complex, and all of a sudden, I start thinking in rhymes, that person could be a muse.
Taylor SwiftI’d love to do a duet, always wanted to work with Madonna, but she never asked.
Dolly PartonWomen are considered deep – why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.
Friedrich NietzscheResistance is usually ascribed to bodies at rest, and impulse to those in motion, but motion and rest, as commonly conceived, are only relatively distinguished; nor are those bodies always truly at rest, which commonly are taken to be so.
Isaac NewtonUp until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time.
Stephen HawkingThe march of the human mind is slow.
Edmund BurkeIt’s OK for China to invent cancer drugs that cure patients in the United States. We want them to catch up. But as the leader, we want to keep setting a very, very high standard. We don’t want them to catch up because we’re slowing down or, even worse, going into reverse.
Bill GatesGravitation is, so far, not understandable in terms of other phenomena.
Richard P. FeynmanAmong us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn’t mean we have to wash each other’s feet every day, but we must help one another.
