Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein
The statement that only science can lead to truth is not itself deduced from science. It is not a scientific statement but rather a statement about science, that is, it is a metascientific statement. Therefore, if scientism's basic principle is true, the statement expressing scientism must be false. Scientism refutes itself hence it is incoherent.
John Lennox
Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator.
C.S Lewis
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King
All you have to do is contemplate a simple grain of sand, and you will see in it all the marvels of creation.
Paulo Coelho
It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.
G.K. Chesterton
Water is the driving force of all nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours. That's relativity.
People wonder why the novel is the most popular form of literature; people wonder why it is read more than books of science or books of metaphysics. The reason is very simple; it is merely that the novel is more true than they are.
Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.
Will Durant
Nature never breaks her own laws.
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
In order to arrive at knowledge of the motions of birds in the air, it is first necessary to acquire knowledge of the winds, which we will prove by the motions of water in itself, and this knowledge will be a step enabling us to arrive at the knowledge of beings that fly between the air and the wind.
The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.
Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.
Paul Valery
To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.
Isaac Newton
