ScienceDedicated to the sensible person behind the scientist
- Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavours.
- Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
- If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
- If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
- Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
- It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
- It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
- It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.
- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.
- Most people say that is it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
- When the solution is simple, God is answering.
- The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
- The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it looks.
- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
- The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
- To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
- Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
- The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
- Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.
- 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.
- All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
