Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or knowledge:
“It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (18391914)
“Men look on knowledge which they learnor might learnfrom others as they do on the most beautiful structures which are not their own: in outward objects, they would rather behold their own hogsty than their neighbors palace; and in mental ones, would prefer one grain of knowledge gained by their own observation to all the wisdom of a thousand Solomons.”
—Sarah Fielding (17101768)
