More quotes by 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 you inoculate children with a polio vaccine, you don't sleep well for two or three months.
Jonas Salk
It is courage based on confidence, not daring, and it is confidence based on experience.
Jonas Salk
The mind, in addition to medicine, has powers to turn the immune system around.
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
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
Risks, I like to say, always pay off. You learn what to do, or what not to do.
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 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
I overcame the nightmares because of my dreams.
Jonas Salk
Evolution favors the survival of the wisest.
Jonas Salk
If all insects disappeared, all life on earth would perish. If all humans disappeared, all life on earth would flourish.
Jonas Salk
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
Jonas Salk
I pictured myself as a virus or a cancer cell and tried to sense what it would be like.
Jonas Salk
It is possible to create an epidemic of health which is self-organizing and self-propelling.
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 no such thing as failure, there's just giving up too soon.
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
If humankind would accept and acknowledge this responsibility and become creatively engaged in the process of evolution, consciously as well as unconsciously, a new reality would emerge, and a new age could be born.
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
