More quotes by 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
The mind, in addition to medicine, has powers to turn the immune system around.
Jonas Salk
Eventually we'll realize that if we destroy the ecosystem, we destroy ourselves.
Jonas Salk
Are we being good ancestors?
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
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
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
Evolution favors the survival of the wisest.
Jonas Salk
What people think of as the moment of discovery is really the discovery of the question.
Jonas Salk
There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
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
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
It is courage based on confidence, not daring, and it is confidence based on experience.
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
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
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
I see the triumph of good over evil as a manifestation of the error-correcting process of evolution.
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
