Scientific Knowledge

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or knowledge:

“The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.”

“The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. What men need is as much knowledge as they can assimilate and organize into a basis for action; give them more and it may become injurious.
