Famous quotes containing the words scientists and/or academics:

    “There is not much that even the most socially responsible scientists can do as individuals, or even as a group, about the social consequences of their activities.”
    —Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)

    “Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
