The real scientist is ready to bear privation and, if need be, starvation rather than let anyone dictate to him which direction his work must take.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Science is analytical, descriptive, informative. Man does not live by bread alone, but by science he attempts to do so. Hence the deadliness of all that is purely scientific.
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.
One can not impede scientific progress.
The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he is one who asks the right questions.
I am optimistic when I consider the spiritual dimension which the scientist's discipline forces him to ignore.
There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
I have learned to have more faith in the scientist than he does in himself.
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
I do not know that any writer has supposed that on this earth man will ultimately be able to live without food.
