Famous quotes containing the word sciences:

    “I am not able to instruct you. I can only tell that I have chosen wrong. I have passed my time in study without experience; in the attainment of sciences which can, for the most part, be but remotely useful to mankind. I have purchased knowledge at the expense of all the common comforts of life: I have missed the endearing elegance of female friendship, and the happy commerce of domestic tenderness.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “The sciences have ever been the surest guides to virtue.”
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    “Normally, the sciences distance themselves from life and the return to it via a detour.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
