Science stands for rational thought, faith for superstition and unreason.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Science is an enterprise that should be cherished as an activity of the free human mind. Because it transforms who we are, how we live, and it gives us an understanding of our place in the universe.
A superstition which pretends to be scientific creates a much greater confusion of thought than one which contents itself with simple popular practices.
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.
Science is not a thing. It's a verb. It's a way of thinking about things. It's a way of looking for natural explanations for all phenomena.
Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.
Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission.
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.
Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction - in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow.
