More quotes by John William Draper
Science has never sought to ally herself with civil power. She has never subjected anyone to mental torment, physical torment, least of all death, for the purpose of promoting her ideas.
John William Draper
The scientific study of Nature tends not only to correct and ennoble the intellectual conceptions of man it serves also to ameliorate his physical condition.
John William Draper
How is it that the Church produced no geometer in her autocratic reign of twelve hundred years?
John William Draper
A divine revelation must necessarily be intolerant of contradiction it must repudiate all improvement in itself, and view with disdain that arising from the progressive intellectual development of man.
John William Draper
