Famous quotes containing the word science:
“Human Nature is the only science of man; and yet has been hitherto the most neglected.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
