“Science makes people reach selflessly for truth and objectivity; it teaches people to accept reality, with wonder and admiration, not to mention the deep awe and joy that the natural order of things brings to the true scientist.”
― Lise Meitner

“It was my good fortune to be linked with Mme. Curie through twenty years of sublime and unclouded friendship. I came to admire her human grandeur to an ever growing degree. Her strength, her purity of will, her austerity toward herself, her objectivity, her incorruptible judgementâ€� all these were of a kind seldom found joined in a single individual... The greatest scientific deed of her life—proving the existence of radioactive elements and isolating them—owes its accomplishment not merely to bold intuition but to a devotion and tenacity in execution under the most extreme hardships imaginable, such as the history of experimental science has not often witnessed.”
― Albert Einstein, Out of My Later Years: The Scientist, Philosopher, and Man Portrayed Through His Own Words

“You make experiments and I make theories. Do you know the difference? A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.

{Remark to scientist Herman Francis Mark}”
― Albert Einstein

“The theist and the scientist are rival interpreters of nature, the one retreats as the other advances.”
― Joseph McCabe, The Existence Of God

“I cannot give any scientist of any age better advice than this: the intensity of the conviction that a hypothesis is true has no bearing on whether it is true or not.”
― Peter B. Medawar, Advice To A Young Scientist

“The scientist believes in proof without certainty, the bigot in certainty without proof.”
― Ashley Montagu, Science and Creationism

“Having spent all my life among academics, I can tell you that hearing how wrong they area is about as high on their priority list as finding a cockroach in their coffee. The typical scientist has made an interesting discovery early on in his or her career, followed by a lifetime of making sure that everyone else admires his or her contribution and that no one questions it. There is no poorer company than an aging scientist who has failed to achieve these objectives.”
― Frans de Waal, The Bonobo and the Atheist: In Search of Humanism Among the Primates

“You have given intelligence to find one solution, and imagination to find ten.”
― Amit Kalantri

“How many beers do y'all think it takes before one internationally scientist turns to another and says, 'Dude, bet you twenty bucks I can levitate a frog with a magnet?' ' Sam drawled.”
― Robyn Schneider, The Beginning of Everything

“Life is not found in atoms or molecules or genes as such, but in organization; not in symbiosis but in synthesis.”
― Edwin Grant Conklin

“As a scientist I have come to learn that information is
only as valuable as its source.”
― Dan Brown, Angels & Demons

“A scientist is proud of his intelligence, an artist is proud of his imagination.”
― Amit Kalantri

“It is possible for you to realise your dream as a scientist, you must be a passionate learner and curious enough to seek this wonderful career path.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!

“A number of our scientists boast intelligence but lack wisdom. I find those to be the predictable ones.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“Whereas Nature does not admit of more than three dimensions ... it may justly seem very improper to talk of a solid ... drawn into a fourth, fifth, sixth, or further dimension.”
― John Wallis

“I have indeed lived and worked to my taste either in art or science. What more could a man desire? Knowledge has always been my goal. There is much that I shall leave behind undone…but something at least I was privileged to leave for the world to use, if it so intends…As the Latin poet said I will leave the table of the living like a guest who has eaten his fill. Yes, if I had another life to spend, I certainly would not waste it. But that cannot be, so why complain?”
― Léon Camille Marius Croizat

“I believe it to be of particular importance that the scientist have an articulate and adequate social philosophy, even more important than the average man should have a philosophy. For there are certain aspects of the relation between science and society that the scientist can appreciate better than anyone else, and if he does not insist on this significance no one else will, with the result that the relation of science to society will become warped, to the detriment of everybody.”
― P. W. Bridgman, Reflections of a Physicist

“Theories cannot claim to be indestructible. They are only the plough which the ploughman uses to draw his furrow and which he has every right to discard for another one, of improved design, after the harvest. To be this ploughman, to see my labours result in the furtherance of scientific progress, was the height of my ambition, and now the Swedish Academy of Sciences has come, at this harvest, to add the most brilliant of crowns.”
― Paul Sabatier

“In the last four days I have got the (results) given by Tantalum, Chromium, Manganese, Iron , Nickel, Cobalt and Copper ... The chief result is that ... the result for any metal (is) quite easy to guess from the results for the others. This shews that the insides of all the atoms are very much alike, and from these results it will be possible to find out something of what the insides are made up of.”
― Henry Moseley

“As a scientist, I can not help feeling that all religions are on a tottering foundation. None is perfect or inspired.

The idea that a good God would send people to a burning hell is utterly damnable to me. I don't want to have anything to do with such a God.”
― Luther Burbank

“Any chemist reading this book can see, in some detail, how I have spent most of my mature life. They can become familiar with the quality of my mind and imagination. They can make judgements about my research abilities. They can tell how well I have documented my claims of experimental results. Any scientist can redo my experiments to see if they still work—and this has happened! I know of no other field in which contributions to world culture are so clearly on exhibit, so cumulative, and so subject to verification.”
― Donald J. Cram, From design to discovery

“Religious creeds are a great obstacle to any full sympathy between the outlook of the scientist and the outlook which religion is so often supposed to require ... The spirit of seeking which animates us refuses to regard any kind of creed as its goal. It would be a shock to come across a university where it was the practice of the students to recite adherence to Newton's laws of motion, to Maxwell's equations and to the electromagnetic theory of light. We should not deplore it the less if our own pet theory happened to be included, or if the list were brought up to date every few years. We should say that the students cannot possibly realise the intention of scientific training if they are taught to look on these results as things to be recited and subscribed to. Science may fall short of its ideal, and although the peril scarcely takes this extreme form, it is not always easy, particularly in popular science, to maintain our stand against creed and dogma.”
― Arthur Stanley Eddington

“I have learned to have more trust in the scientist than he does in himself.”
― David Sarnoff

“The scientist is a lover of truth for the very love of truth itself, wherever it may lead.”
― Luther Burbank

“He was guillotined in the French Revolution, and he said he’d keep blinking his eyes after his head was off, for as long as he had consciousness. He blinked seventeen times. That’s a scientist,â€� Gill said.”
― Jo Walton, Among Others

“I notice that, in the lecture â€� which Prof. Lowry gave recently, in Paris â€� he brought forward certain freak formulae for tartaric acid, in which hydrogen figures as bigamist â€� I may say, he but follows the loose example set by certain Uesanians, especially one G. N. Lewis, a Californian thermodynamiter, who has chosen to disregard the fundamental canons of chemistry—for no obvious reason other than that of indulging in premature speculation upon electrons as the cause of valencyâ€�”
― Henry Edward Armstrong

“This is more like the scientists I know. Authority outweighs evidence, at least for as long as the authority lives.”
― Frans de Waal, The Bonobo and the Atheist: In Search of Humanism Among the Primates

“There were many women in the Soviet scientific community, proportionately more so than in the United States. But they tended to occupy menial middle-level positions, and male Soviet scientists, like their American counterparts, were puzzled about a pretty woman with evident scientific competence who forcefully expressed her views.”
― Carl Sagan

“And envy, envious of a time when the poet, the mystic, the scientist and the statesman were nobler than the merchant.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, The Rise of Shams

“The genius of a great magician is as impressive as the genius of a great scientist.”
― Amit Kalantri
