The glory of medicine is that it is constantly moving forward, that there is always more to learn. The ills of today do not cloud the horizon of tomorrow, but act as a spur to greater effort.
William James Mayo
Image
It is my inner conviction that the development of science seeks in the main to satisfy the longing for pure knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.

Science is the process of making obviously erroneous ideas less obviously erroneous.
Albert Einstein
Image
In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are capable of it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Discrepancy between theory and practice, which in sound physical and mechanical science is a delusion, has a real existence in the minds of men and that fallacy, through rejected by their judgments, continues to exert and influence over their acts.
William John Macquorn Rankine

This law (regarding the theoretical efficiency of heat engines by Mr. Joule), and the law of the maximum efficiency of heat engines, are particular cases of a general law which regulates all transformation of energy, and is the basis of the Science of Energetics.
William John Macquorn Rankine
Image
To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.
Albert Einstein
Image
The scientist finds his reward in what Henri Poincare calls the joy of comprehension, and not in the possibility of application to which any discovery may lead.
Albert Einstein
Image
Belief in an external world independent of the perceiving subject is the basis of all natural science.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science will stagnate if it is made to serve practical goals.
Albert Einstein
Image
Of all the communities available to us, there is not one I would want to devote myself to except for the society of the true seekers, which has very few living members at any one time.
Albert Einstein
Image
I don't believe in mathematics.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science has brought forth this danger, but the real problem is in the minds and hearts of men.
Albert Einstein
Image
No longer is science asked to understand the world, or to improve any part of it. It is asked instead to immediately justify everything that happens... spectacular domination has cut down the vast tree of scientific knowledge in order to make itself a truncheon.
Guy Debord
Image
If what is seen and experienced is portrayed in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated through forms whose connections are not accessible to the conscious mind but are recognized intuitively, then it is art.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Albert Einstein
Image
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
Albert Einstein
Image
The more I study science, the more I believe in God.
Albert Einstein
Image
How insidious Nature is when one is trying to get at it experimentally.
Albert Einstein
Image
The scientific discovery appears first as the hypothesis of an analogy and science tends to become independent of the hypothesis.
William Kingdon Clifford
Image
Remember that [scientific thought] is the guide of action that the truth which it arrives at is not that which we can ideally contemplate without error, but that which we may act upon without fear and you cannot fail to see that scientific thought is not an accompaniment or condition of human progress, but human progress itself.
William Kingdon Clifford
Image
As for the search for truth, I know from my own painful searching, with its many blind alleys, how hard it is to take a reliable step, be it ever so small, towards the understanding of that which is truly significant.
