The age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over.
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly science into superstition and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description as science writers but there are bad dreams as well as good dreams. We're dreamers you see but we're also realists of a sort.
It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.
If civilization is to survive we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples of all kinds to live together in the same world at peace.
The proper study of mankind is the science of design.
The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science more than soil has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality.
Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.
The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.
There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities so absolutely terrifying that even man the fighter who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death will be appalled and so abandon war forever.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly science into superstition and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
I received my undergraduate degree in engineering in 1939 and a Master of Science degree in mathematical physics in 1941 at Steven Institute of Technology.
Science without religion is lame religion without science is blind.
Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'
The most exciting phrase to hear in science the one that heralds new discoveries is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny'

There is a single light of science and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.
Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.

The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart.
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.
Nature is not simply a technical or economical resource and human beings are not mere numbers. To suggest that one can somehow align all the squabbling institutions of science environmental management government and diplomacy in an alliance of convenience to regulate the global climate seems to me optimistic.
