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
I see the triumph of good over evil as a manifestation of the error-correcting process of evolution.

Jonas Salk
It is said to await certainty is to await eternity.
Jonas Salk
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
Jonas Salk
My life is pretty well at peace, and the profession is more of an avocation. It's a calling, if you like, rather than a job. I do what I feel impelled to do, as an artist would.
Jonas Salk
Reply when questioned on the safety of the polio vaccine he developed: It is safe, and you can't get safer than safe.
Jonas Salk
I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.
Jonas Salk
