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)

    “All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us.... This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.”
    —Roger Bacon (c. 1214–c. 1294)

    “Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
