Science

Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. When a man tells you that he knows the exact truth about anything, you are safe in inferring that he is an inexact man. - Bertrand Russell

Science may be weird and incomprehensible – more weird and less comprehensible than any theology--but science works. It gets results. - Richard Dawkins

Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. - Albert Einstein

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. - Carl Sagan

Science is simply common sense at its best – that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. - Thomas Huxley

Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification. - Karl Popper

Science, like life, feeds on its own decay. New facts burst old rules; then newly divined conceptions bind old and new together into a reconciling law. - William James

Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty – some most unsure, some nearly sure, none absolutely certain. - Richard Feynman

Scientific revolutions, almost by definition, defy common sense. - Michiokaku

Scientists actively approach the door to knowledge – the boundary of the domain of what we know. We question and explore and we change our views when facts and logic force us to do so. We are confident only in what we can verify through experiments or in what we can deduce from experimentally confirmed hypotheses. - Lisa Randall

The history of science is full of revolutionary advances that required small insights that anyone might have had, but that, in fact, only one person did. - Isaac Asimov

The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them. - William Bragg

The most exciting thing about being a scientist is not knowing and being wrong. Because that means there is a lot left to learn. - Lawrence M. Krauss

The most successful scientists are not the most talented. But they are the ones who are impelled by curiosity. They’ve got to know what the answer is. - Arthur Schawlow

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. - Isaac Asimov

The scientific attitude of mind involves a sweeping away of all other desires in the interests of the desire to know – it involves suppression of hopes and fears, loves and hates, and the whole subjective emotional life, until we become subdued to the material, able to see it frankly, without preconceptions, without bias, without any wish except to see it as it is, and without any belief that what it is must be determined by some relation, positive or negative, to what we should like it to be, or to what we can easily imagine it to be. - Bertrand Russell

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

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking. - Albert Einstein

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. - Mark Twain

There must be no barriers for freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. - J. Robert Oppenheimer

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angel, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science. - Albert Einstein

Vast is the field of Science ... the more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know. - Samuel Richardson

Without science, everything is a miracle. - Lawrence M. Kraus

Environment - Quotes

All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster. - Barack Obama

Be careful of the environment you choose, for it will shape you. - W. Clement Stone

Cities are expanding at an alarming rate. Inter-tidal zones are being polluted as mangroves gives way to marina. Over-consumption is leading to soil erosion and desertification, which in turn cause famine and exert pressure on formally fertile areas. We are pulling out the plugs of the system that keeps us alive. Every indicator is showing red: species diversity, water quality, weather patterns, the number of refugees... We are unravelling nature like an old jumper. - Penny Kemp & Derek Wall

Environmental pollution is not only humanity’s treason to humanity but also a treason to all other living creatures on earth! - Mehmet Murat ildan

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease. - Andy & Larry Wachowski

I am I plus my surroundings and if I do not preserve the latter, I do not preserve myself. - Jose Ortega Y Gasset

I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth – at least, not on account of global warming. But climate change does confront us with profound new realities. We face these new realities as a nation, as members of the world community, as consumers, as producers, and as investors. And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation. - Eileen Claussen

One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise. - Aldo Leopold

We line up and make a lot of noise about big environmental problems like incinerators, waste dumps, acid rain, global warming and pollution. But we don't understand that when we add up all the tiny environmental problems each of us creates, we end up with those big environmental dilemmas. Humans are content to blame someone else, like government or corporations, for the messes we create, and yet we each continue doing the same things, day in and day out, that have created the problems. Sure, corporations create pollution. If they do, don't buy their products. If you have to buy their products (gasoline for example), keep it to a minimum. Sure, municipal waste incinerators pollute the air. Stop throwing trash away. Minimize your production of waste. Recycle. Buy food in bulk and avoid packaging waste. Simplify. Turn off your TV. Grow your own food. Make compost. Plant a garden. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. If you don't, who will? - Joseph Jenkins

Life - Quotes

All our life passes in this way: we seek rest by struggling against certain obstacles, and once they are overcome, rest proves intolerable because of the boredom it produces. - Blaise Pascal

Wherever you may go; Life is a beautiful thing. Life is like a passing season. It comes and go. Whatever may come, it’s better to enjoy the changing seasons. - Unknown

As you speed along the highway of life ... you might pause and consider. When everything's coming your way, maybe you're driving in the wrong lane. - Joseph Finder

Any life, however long and complicated it may be, actually consists of a single moment – the moment when a man knows forever more who he is. - Jorge Luis Borges

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but by the attitude we bring to life. - Wade Boggs

All our mortal lives are set in danger and perplexity: one day to prosper, and the next – who knows? When all is well, then look for rocks ahead. - Sophocles

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. - Richard Bach

As a well spent day affords happy sleep, so does a life profitably employed afford a happy death. - Leonardo Da Vinci
