Scientific truth is marvelous, but moral truth is divine and whoever breathes its air and walks by its light has found the lost paradise.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality.
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built.
Science is the ultimate tool to reveal the laws of nature, and the one word written on its banner is Truth.
To the scientist there is the joy in pursuing truth which nearly counteracts the depressing revelations of truth.
Understanding truth is the primary objective of science, not doing good for the world.
Science is but an image of the truth.
In a world where it is so easy to neglect, deny, corrupt and suppress the truth, the scientist may find his discipline severe. For him, truth is so seldom the sudden light that shows new order and beauty; more often, truth is the uncharted rock that sinks his ship in the dark.
Truth is truth, whether labeled 'science' or 'religion.'
