POWERFUL QUOTES FROM SCIENTISTS THAT ARE TRULY THOUGHT-PROVOKING

"PROGRESS IS MADE BY TRIAL AND FAILURE;

THE FAILURES ARE GENERALLY A HUNDRED

TIMES MORE NUMEROUS THAN THE SUCCESSES;

YET THEY ARE USUALLY LEFT UNCHRONICLED."

WILLIAM RAMSAY

"ALTHOUGH NATURE NEEDS THOUSANDS OR

MILLIONS OF YEARS TO CREATE A NEW SPECIES,

MAN NEEDS ONLY A FEW DOZEN YEARS TO

DESTROY ONE."

VICTOR SCHEFFER

"SCIENCE IS SIMPLY COMMON SENSE AT ITS BEST,

THAT IS, RIGIDLY ACCURATE IN OBSERVATION

AND MERCILESS TO FALLACY IN LOGIC."

THOMAS HUXLEY

"ACTUALLY, EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE KNOWN

HAS A NUMBER; FOR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO

GRASP ANYTHING WITH THE MIND OR TO

RECOGNIZE IT WITHOUT THIS."

PHILOLAUS

"THE GOOD THING ABOUT SCIENCE IS THAT IT’S

TRUE WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE IN IT."

NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON

"SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY AND SCIENTIFIC

KNOWLEDGE HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED ONLY BY

THOSE WHO HAVE GONE IN PURSUIT OF IT

WITHOUT ANY PRACTICAL PURPOSE

WHATSOEVER IN VIEW."

MAX PLANCK

"NOTHING IN LIFE IS TO BE FEARED, IT IS ONLY

TO BE UNDERSTOOD. NOW IS THE TIME TO

UNDERSTAND MORE, SO THAT WE

MAY FEAR LESS."

MARIE CURIE

"WHAT'S DANGEROUS IS NOT TO EVOLVE."

JEFF BEZOS

"SCIENCE IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT WORKS

AND THE REJECTION OF WHAT DOES NOT.

THAT NEEDS MORE COURAGE THAN WE

MIGHT THINK."
