More quotes by 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
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
What is ... important is that we - number one: Learn to live with each other. Number two: try to bring out the best in each other.
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
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
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
I pictured myself as a virus or a cancer cell and tried to sense what it would be like.
Jonas Salk
Are we being good ancestors?
Jonas Salk
Risks, I like to say, always pay off. You learn what to do, or what not to do.
Jonas Salk
There is no such thing as failure, there's just giving up too soon.
Jonas Salk
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
Jonas Salk
I overcame the nightmares because of my dreams.
Jonas Salk
Evolution favors the survival of the wisest.
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
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
If all insects disappeared, all life on earth would perish. If all humans disappeared, all life on earth would flourish.
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
Find the right questions. You don't invent the answers, you reveal the answers.
Jonas Salk
What people think of as the moment of discovery is really the discovery of the question.
Jonas Salk
