I saw science as being in harmony with humanity.

We have found that where science has progressed the farthest, the mind has but regained from nature that which the mind put into nature.

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

Science is the greatest creative impulse of our time. It dominates the intellectual scene and forms our lives, not only in the material things which it has given us, but also in that it guides our spirit.

Science without conscience is the death of the soul.

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.

Since the Renaissance, a concept called 'progress' has been baked into our society. Progress - founded on an accumulation of knowledge through experience (and in the case of science, through experiment). To build on the past rather than endlessly relive it. That's what separates us from the beasts.

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

The world changes materially. Science makes advances in technology and understanding. But the world of humanity doesn't change.

Philosophy was once considered science.
