More quotes by Jonas Salk
It is possible to create an epidemic of health which is self-organizing and self-propelling.
Jonas Salk
I see the triumph of good over evil as a manifestation of the error-correcting process of evolution.
Jonas Salk
Evolution favors the survival of the wisest.
Jonas Salk
Risks, I like to say, always pay off. You learn what to do, or what not to do.
Jonas Salk
I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.
Jonas Salk
I think of evolution as an error-making and error-correcting process, and we are constantly learning from experience.
Jonas Salk
I speak about universal evolution and teleological evolution, because I think the process of evolution reflects the wisdom of nature. I see the need for wisdom to become operative. We need to try to put all of these things together in what I call an evolutionary philosophy of our time.
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
It is said to await certainty is to await eternity.
Jonas Salk
In my view, art and the approach to life through art, using it as a vehicle for education and even for doing science is so vital that it is part of a great new revolution that is taking place. I believe we are entering a whole new epoch.
Jonas Salk
I have come to recognize evolution not only as an active process that I am experiencing at the time, but as something I can guide by the choices I make.
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
The mind, in addition to medicine, has powers to turn the immune system around.
Jonas Salk
My ambition was to bring to bear on medicine a chemical approach. I did that by chemical manipulation of viruses and chemical ways of thinking in biomedical research.
Jonas Salk
There is no such thing as failure, there's just giving up too soon.
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
There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
Jonas Salk
The art of science is as important as so-called technical science. You need both. It's this combination that must be recognized and acknowledged and valued.
Jonas Salk
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
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
