The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.

On the ‚Star,‘ you were forced to learn to write a simple declarative sentence. This is useful to anyone. Newspaper work will not harm a young writer and could help him if he gets out of it in time.

The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are, and how successful the economy is, it’s a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women.

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

Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.

The mineral world is a much more supple and mobile world than could be imagined by the science of the ancients. Vaguely analogous to the metamorphoses of living creatures, there occurs in the most solid rocks, as we now know, perpetual transformation of a mineral species.

He chose to honor us with His priesthood. So we honor Him by honoring His priesthood – both its power and those who bear it.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.

I think the positive competition between states in India is one of the most positive dynamics that the country has.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.

The universal utilization of water power and its long-distance transmission will supply every household with cheap power and will dispense with the necessity of burning fuel. The struggle for existence being lessened, there should be development along ideal rather than material lines.

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

There is none made so great, but he may both need the help and service, and stand in fear of the power and unkindness, even of the meanest of mortals.

Science is global. Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.

It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they were found because it was possible to find them.

In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.

We want to answer this classical question, who am I? So I think that most of our works are for art, or whatever we do, including science or religion, tried to answer that question.

The 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.

If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.

Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

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.

Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.

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

The Medici created and destroyed me.

Science, as everyone knows, is responsible, moderate, unsentimental, and otherwise good.

I repeat… that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.

A man’s growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Science does not know its debt to imagination.

Mystical references to society and its programs to help may warm the hearts of the gullible but what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

The earth is supported by the power of truth; it is the power of truth that makes the sun shine and the winds blow; indeed all things rest upon truth.

Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.

It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful: they are found because it was possible to find them.

A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there’s no question about it.

The three most powerful and most apparent means used by Rome to retain her power over the minds of her votaries are Ignorance, Superstition, and Persecution.

Evolution was far more thrilling to me than the biblical account. Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel? To my juvenile eyes, Darwin was proved true every day. It doesn’t take much to make us flip back into monkeys again.

I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

Words are more treacherous and powerful than we think.

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.

Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.

I feel like the thing we can do is celebrate people doing great work and create more cultural momentum and awareness that this is an important thing in the world. So when the next economic crisis hits and people are talking about where to cut from the budget, science isn’t the thing.

Countries which receive aid do graduate. Within a generation, Korea went from being a big recipient to being a big aid donor. China used to get quite a bit of aid; now it’s aid-neutral.

Rockets are cool. There’s no getting around that.

Because atomic behavior is so unlike ordinary experience, it is very difficult to get used to, and it appears peculiar and mysterious to everyone – both to the novice and to the experienced physicist.

Development of outlook naturally begins with a respect for God… Reverence to God and reverence for one’s neighbor and reverence for oneself as a servant of God.

The point – the power to hurt – of all figures lies in the truthfulness of their application.

My relationship to power and authority is that I’m all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave.

Nevertheless, it is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.

Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It’s really counterintuitive.

The biggest difference in the wet between F2 and F1 is that there’s so much more power in F1 as being on the throttle earlier has a bigger advantage.

After launching the first version of Facebook for a few thousand users, we would discuss how this should be built for the world. It wasn’t even a thought that maybe it could be us. We always thought it would be someone else doing it.

Power is a complicated word and can take many forms.

Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

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.
