The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification.
From Thomas Huxley

Science has fulfilled her function when she has ascertained and enunciated truth.

The more rapidly truth is spread among mankind the better it will be for them. Only let us be sure that it is the truth.
My experience of the world is that things left to themselves don't get right.
The best men of the best epochs are simply those who make the fewest blunders and commit the fewest sins.
Economy does not lie in sparing money, but in spending it wisely.
Science and literature are not two things, but two sides of one thing.
Teach a child what is wise, that is morality. Teach him what is wise and beautiful, that is religion!
