At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society, when the destiny of the whole of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role, and conduct themselves accordingly.

We now witness the constructive work on a foundation that will endure through the ages. That foundation is the god of science - revealed to us in terms that will harmonize with our intelligence.

The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.

Science is the ultimate tool to reveal the laws of nature, and the one word written on its banner is Truth.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man - social and political - and to the entire universe as a whole.

No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.

Science is about unravelling nature.

Science may eventually explain the world of How. The ultimate world of Why may remain for contemplation, philosophy, religion.

Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.
