The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science, but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Vast is the field of Science. The more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know.
The knowledge and understanding of the world which science gives us and the magnificent opportunity which it extends to us to control and use the world for the extension of our pleasure in it has never been greater than it now is.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
In praising science, it does not follow that we must adopt the very poor philosophies which scientific men have constructed. In philosophy they have much more to learn than to teach.
We will always have more to discover, more to invent, more to understand and that's much closer to art and literature than any science.
It seems to me that man is made to act rather than to know: the principles of things escape our most persevering researches.
Science can promote an understanding between people at a really fundamental level.
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Scientific men can hardly escape the charge of ignorance with regard to the precise effect of the impact of modern science upon the mode of living of the people and upon their civilisation.
In teaching man, experimental science results in lessening his pride more and more by proving to him every day that primary causes, like the objective reality of things, will be hidden from him forever and that he can only know relations.
