How happy the lot of the mathematician. He is judged solely by his peers, and the standard is so high that no colleague or rival can ever win a reputation he does not deserve.
W. H. Auden
Image
I have seen the sea lashed into fury and tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves the soul of the dullest man but I remember that it is not the billows, but the calm level of the sea from which all heights and depths are measured.
James A. Garfield
Image
We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Conversation in society is found to be on a platform so low as to exclude science, the saint, and the poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
There can be no real conflict between the two Books of the Great Author. Both are revelations made by Him to man,-the earlier telling of God-made harmonies coming up from the deep past, and rising to their height when man appeared, the later teaching man's relations to his Maker, and speaking of loftier harmonies in the eternal future.
James Dwight Dana
Image
What have you done for science today? Stop doing things for God! He doesn't need anything. Do something for science, for God's sake!
Mehmet Murat Ildan

People who love science fiction really do love sex.
Susie Bright

The proper study of mankind is the science of design.
Herbert Simon
Image
We are compelled to drive toward total knowledge, right down to the levels of the neuron and the gene. When we have progressed enough to explain ourselves in these mechanistic terms...the result might be hard to accept.
E. O. Wilson
Image
While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me. To fall into a black hole, that is more amazing than anything I've ever read in a science-fiction story.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Image
The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
Edward Teller
Image
Science can be effective in the national welfare only as a member of a team, whether the conditions be peace or war. But without scientific progress no amount of achievement in other directions can insure our health, prosperity, and security as a nation in the modern world.
Vannevar Bush
Image
Why, exactly, are scientists supposed to accord respect to a bunch of ancient fables that are not only ludicrous on their face, but motivate so much opposition to science?
Jerry A. Coyne
Image
From my numerous observations, I conclude that these tubercle bacilli occur in all tuberculous disorders, and that they are distinguishable from all other microorganisms.
Robert Koch
Image
In my younger days, when I was painted by the half-educated, loose and inaccurate ways women had, I used to say, How much women need exact science But since I have known some workers in science, I have now said, How much science needs women
Maria Mitchell
Image
In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results.
Michael Crichton
Image
Science increases our power in proportion as it lowers our pride.
Claude Bernard
Image
It is possible in medicine, even when you intend to do good, to do harm instead. That is why science thrives on actively encouraging criticism rather than stifling it.
Richard Dawkins
Image
People once considered that religions were obsolete and that material science would solve all human problems. Then they have become disillusioned with materialism and machinery and have realized that spiritual sciences are also indispensable for human welfare.
Dalai Lama
Image
And although I have seen nothing but black crows in my life, it doesn't mean that there's no such thing as a white crow. Both for a philosopher and for a scientist it can be important not to reject the possibility of finding a white crow. You might almost say that hunting for 'the white crow' is science's principal task.
Jostein Gaarder
Image
As long as vitalism and spiritualism are open questions so long will the gateway of science be open to mysticism.
Rudolf Virchow
Image
Mathematics has a threefold purpose. It must provide an instrument for the study of nature. But this is not all: it has a philosophical purpose, and, I daresay, an aesthetic purpose.
Henri Poincare
Image
The Highways of America are built chiefly of politics, whereas the proper material is crushed rock or concrete.
Carl G. Fisher
Image
A science is said to be useful if its development tends to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth, or more directly promotes the destruction of human life.
G. H. Hardy
