More quotes by Jonas Salk
[Who owns the patent on this vaccine?] Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?
Jonas Salk
I see the triumph of good over evil as a manifestation of the error-correcting process of evolution.
Jonas Salk
This is perhaps the most beautiful time in human history it is really pregnant with all kinds of creative possibilities made possible by science and technology which now constitute the slave of man - if man is not enslaved by it.
Jonas Salk
The mind, in addition to medicine, has powers to turn the immune system around.
Jonas Salk
What you see in living systems, and in genetic systems, is that the genes are already there, having arisen in the course of time, and when they are needed they become activated. If they had to be invented, the time would be too late.
Jonas Salk
When I worked on the polio vaccine, I had a theory. I guided each [experiment] by imagining myself in the phenomenon in which I was interested. The intuitive realm . . . the realm of the imagination guides my thinking.
Jonas Salk
What people think of as the moment of discovery is really the discovery of the question.
Jonas Salk
I pictured myself as a virus or a cancer cell and tried to sense what it would be like.
Jonas Salk
Solutions come through evolution. They come through asking the right questions, because the answers pre-exist. It is the questions that we must define and discover. You don't invent the answer-you reveal the answer.
Jonas Salk
The worst tragedy that could have befallen me was my success. I knew right away that I was through - cast out.
Jonas Salk
Wisdom: It's something that you know when you see it. You can recognize it, you can experience it. I have defined wisdom as the capacity to make judgments that when looked back upon will seem to have been wise.
Jonas Salk
There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
Jonas Salk
Risks, I like to say, always pay off. You learn what to do, or what not to do.
Jonas Salk
Find the right questions. You don't invent the answers, you reveal the answers.
Jonas Salk
Evolution favors the survival of the wisest.
Jonas Salk
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
Jonas Salk
When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine, you don't sleep well for two or three months.
Jonas Salk
Eventually we'll realize that if we destroy the ecosystem, we destroy ourselves.
Jonas Salk
It is courage based on confidence, not daring, and it is confidence based on experience.
Jonas Salk
As a child I was not interested in science. I was merely interested in things human, the human side of nature, if you like, and I continue to be interested in that. That's what motivates me.
Jonas Salk
