Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity; for if man's power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened.

There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.

I have an idealistic view of science as a liberalising and progressive force for humanity.

Scientific advancement should aim to affirm and to improve human life.

It is important that legislation keeps pace with scientific progress.

I think, however, that so long as our present economic and national systems continue, scientific research has little to fear.

One can not impede scientific progress.

Let us advance science to create a better world for all.

I felt strongly that since the pursuit of good science was so difficult it was essential that the problem being studied was an important one to justify the effort expanded.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.
