Famous quotes containing the word science:

    Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    Science is facts. Just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts. But a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
    Jules Henri Poincare (1854–1912)
