Famous quotes containing the words science and/or objectives:

    “No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.”
    —Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)

    “Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
