More quotes by 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
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
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
It is possible to create an epidemic of health which is self-organizing and self-propelling.
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
Risks, I like to say, always pay off. You learn what to do, or what not to do.
Jonas Salk
When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine, you don't sleep well for two or three months.
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
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
Are we being good ancestors?
Jonas Salk
It is courage based on confidence, not daring, and it is confidence based on experience.
Jonas Salk
There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
Jonas Salk
Find the right questions. You don't invent the answers, you reveal the answers.
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
I see the triumph of good over evil as a manifestation of the error-correcting process of evolution.
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
Eventually we'll realize that if we destroy the ecosystem, we destroy ourselves.
Jonas Salk
What people think of as the moment of discovery is really the discovery of the question.
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
