This means that to entrust to science - or to deliberate control according to scientific principles - more than scientific method can achieve may have deplorable effects. Friedrich August von Hayek
True science is never speculative it employs hypotheses as suggesting points for inquiry, but it never adopts the hypotheses as though they were demonstrated propositions. Cleveland Abbe
Just as the science and art of agriculture depend upon chemistry and botany, so the art of education depends upon physiology and psychology. Edward Thorndike
The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality. Shimon Peres
It's time to let science and medicine, not politics and rhetoric, lead us to good, sound policy. Eliot Spitzer
Facts matter. Science matters. Reason matters. Mitt Romney has shown an inability to respect any of the three. President Barack Obama not only respects them, he relies on them. He is an overwhelming and unquestioned choice to continue as president. Eliot Spitzer
The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future. Lord Acton
The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art. Paul Klee
We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature. Robert Lanza
Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration. Jeff Bezos
Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century. J. G. Ballard
Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute. J. G. Ballard
I think mistakes are the essence of science and law. It's impossible to conceive of either scientific progress or legal progress without understanding the important role of being wrong and of mistakes. Alan Dershowitz
The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself. Jacob Bronowski

Further, the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated. Carl Friedrich Gauss
The enchanting charms of this sublime science reveal only to those who have the courage to go deeply into it. Carl Friedrich Gauss
The wise man regulates his conduct by the theories both of religion and science. But he regards these theories not as statements of ultimate fact but as art-forms. John B. S. Haldane
The science linking the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather to the climate crisis has matured tremendously in the last couple of years. Al Gore
