To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.

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

I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.

Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.

For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.

Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.

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 believe with all my heart that America remains ‚the great idea‘ that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.

No greater nor more affectionate honor can be conferred on an American than to have a public school named after him.

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

In order for the United States to do the right things for the long term, it appears to be helpful for us to have the prospect of humiliation. Sputnik helped us fund good science – really good science: the semiconductor came out of it.

As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us – aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.

And yet it moves.

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.

When you look at a corporation, just like when you look at a slave owner, you want to distinguish between the institution and the individual. So slavery, for example, or other forms of tyranny, are inherently monstrous. The individuals participating in them may be the nicest guys you can imagine.

Let us be absolutely clear about one thing: we must not confuse humility with false modesty or servility.

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.

The major advances in speed of communication and ability to interact took place more than a century ago. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph was far more radical than that from telephone to email!

To be recognized for the hard work my team and I put into ‚Starboy‘ is an honor.

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

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

To Marines, love of liberty is not an empty phrase… Rather, it’s displayed by blood, sweat, and tears for the fallen.

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are.

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.

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.

You’ve all seen over the last eight years what President Obama means to this country. He is the embodiment of honor, resolve, and character – one of the finest presidents we have ever had.

Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part: there all the honor lies.

I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.

For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein’s general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.

At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.

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

Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.

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

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 love the name of honor, more than I fear death.

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

The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name.

Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me.

It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.

It would astonish if not amuse the older citizens to learn that I (a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working at ten dollars per month) have been put down as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.

We’ve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.

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

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.

We give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.

Better to die ten thousand deaths than wound my honor.

Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man’s struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.

Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter’s honor.

When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.

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.

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.

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

Europe is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art, a scientific theory, a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.

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

The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.

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.

The ideas associated with the problems of the development of science, as far as I can see by looking around me, are not of the kind that everyone appreciates.

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

Working with our military community has been the biggest honor of my life.

To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.

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.
