Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “The negative cautions of science are never popular. If the experimentalist would not commit himself, the social philosopher, the preacher, and the pedagogue tried the harder to give a short- cut answer.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “Nothing great in science has ever been done by men, whatever their powers, in whom the divine afflatus of the truth-seeker was wanting.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “Science is a system of statements based on direct experience, and controlled by experimental verification. Verification in science is not, however, of single statements but of the entire system or a sub-system of such statements.”
    —Rudolf Carnap (1891–1970)
