"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Albert Einstein
"Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge."
Thomas Edison
"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"No doubt those who really founded modern science were usually those whose love of truth exceeded their love of power."
C.S. Lewis
"In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms."
GK Chesterton
"Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination."
John Dewey
"Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science."
Henri Poincare
"If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset."
C.S. Lewis
"I keep the subject of my inquiry constantly before me, and wait till the first dawning opens gradually, by little and little, into a full and clear light."
Isaac Newton
"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible."
Albert Einstein
"Anyone who says that they can contemplate quantum mechanics without becoming dizzy has not understood the concept in the least."
Niels Bohr
"Whenever science makes a discovery, the devil grabs it while the angels are debating the best way to use it."
Alan Valentine
"To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science."
Isaac Newton
"The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms."
Albert Einstein
"The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?"
Stephen Hawking
"The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired."
Stephen Hawking
"If you are obliged to neglect any thing, let it be your chemistry. It is the least useful and the least amusing to a country gentleman of all the ordinary branches of science."
Thomas Jefferson
"Why is it that you physicists always require so much expensive equipment? Now the Department of Mathematics requires nothing but money for paper, pencils, and erasers...and the Department of Philosophy is better still. It doesn't even ask for erasers."
Isaac Asimov
"All science, even the divine science, is a sublime detective story. Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive."
GK Chesterton
"The Law of conservation of energy tells us we can't get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it."
Isaac Asimov
