Science

A few drops of science will often disinfect an entire barrel full of ignorance and prejudice. - Hendrik Willem van Loon

A physicist is an atom’s way of knowing about atoms. - George Wald

All of science is nothing more than the refinement of everyday thinking. - Albert Einstein

All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike – and yet it is the most precious thing we have. - Albert Einstein

An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature, and a measurement is the recording of Nature’s answer. - Max Planck

Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis: you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the other hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory. As philosopher of science Karl Popper has emphasized, a good theory is characterized by the fact that it makes a number of predictions that could in principle be disproved or falsified by observation. Each time new experiments are observed to agree with the predictions the theory survives, and our confidence in it is increased; but if ever a new observation is found to disagree, we have to abandon or modify the theory. - Stephen Hawking

As long as men are free to ask what they must – free to say what they think – free to think what they will – freedom can never be lost and science can never regress. - J. Robert Oppenheimer

By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox. - Galileo Galilei

Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. - Edwin Powell Hubble

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver … in the end, the fresh air brings vigour, and the great spaces have a splendour of their own. - Bertrand Russell

Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. - John Dewey

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often long endure; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, as everyone takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path towards error is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened. - Charles Darwin

However far modern science and technics have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson: Nothing is impossible. - Lewis Mumford

I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true. - Carl Sagan

I venture to define science as a series of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiment and observation and fruitful of further experiments and observations. The test of a scientific theory is, I suggest, its fruitfulness. - James Bryant Conant

In all science, error precedes the truth, and it is better it should go first than last. - Hugh Walpole

In essence, science is a perpetual search for an intelligent and integrated comprehension of the world we live in. - Cornelius Bernardus Van Neil

In science one achieves the greatest impact (and often the greatest headlines) not by going along with the herd, but by bucking against it. - Lawrence M Krauss

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. - Paul Dirac

It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science. - Carl Sagan

It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover. - Henri Poincaré

Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

A Shadow of the Light

It has been written that, “A glass of wine once lost a kingdom; a nail turned the tide of a mighty battle, and a woman’s smile once destroyed the homes of a million people.” So, It happens that little things have at times changed the course of human events. And a legend also relates that the untiring determination of a tiny spider spinning a web in an old barn gave Robert Bruce of Scotland renewed courage to return to battle and thus succeed in his mission.

But the majority of us are not marked for such historical destinies and the role we play upon the stage of life may make little impression upon the tides of a nation’s progress. Yet who can say how much the little things we do today may deeply affect the tomorrow of someone we may never know?

Greatness does not always mean fame, wealth, or power. Greatness requires more than these trappings. It is that subtle something in the innermost recesses of the self which glows like a ray from an invisible candle shedding the light of illumination into the dark night, and leaving in its wake an unforgettable essence only the heart can comprehend.

- Merle A Allison

Loneliness

Any decent society must generate a feeling of community. Community offsets loneliness. It gives people a vitally necessary sense of belonging. Yet today the institutions on which community depends are crumbling in all the techno-societies. The result is a spreading plague of loneliness. - Alvin Toffler

Don’t feel alone, because there is always someone out there who loves you more than you can imagine. - Anurag Prakash Ray

Friends will keep you sane, love could fill your heart, a lover can warm your bed. But lonely is the soul without a mate. - Unknown

How dear to the mind of the sage are the thoughts that are bred in loneliness; for there is as it were music at his heart, and he talketh within him as with friends. - Martin Farquhar Tupper

I had already found that it was not good to be alone, and so made companionship with what there was around me, sometimes with the universe and sometimes with my own insignificant self; but my books were always my friends, let fail all else. - Joshua Slocum

I think it’s good for a person to spend time alone. It gives them an opportunity to discover who they are and to figure out why they are always alone. - Amy Sedaris

If one's different, one's bound to be lonely. - Aldous Huxley

If you’re lonely when you’re alone, you’re in bad company. - Jean-Paul Sartre

Is it really possible to avoid loneliness, or to keep it in control? Surely. The matter is wholly personal. The way to begin is, oddly enough, by learning how to be impersonal, to stop the eternal concern for oneself, in caring more and more for the things of interest outside. For loneliness, though it may seem unselfish, is really a kind of selfishness. It is emphasis of self even while being a depreciation of self. If the lonely people would only stop thinking about themselves they would cease to be lonely. - John Daniel Barry

It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This is as true of men as of dogs. - Eric Hoffer

It is strange how the presence of additional people can make you feel more alone. - James Alan Gardner

Loneliness doesn’t have much to do with where you are. - Unknown

Loneliness is a prerequisite for freedom. Freedom depends on the ability to reflect, and reflection can only begin when one is alone. - Gao XingJian

Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man. - Thomas Wolfe

Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close proximity with someone who has ceased to communicate. - Germaine Greer

Loneliness is one of the bugbears of mankind. With some people, it is a constant source of unhappiness. They make plans, sometimes exceedingly complex, to keep it at bay. They think that it lies outside. It really lies within their own consciousness. - John Daniel Barry

Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way. - Janet Fitch

Most of us can forgive and forget; we just don’t want the other person to forget that we forgave. - Ivern Ball

If, however, they have not the power to neutralize an impertinence by explanation, or a fraud by restitution, forgive and forget either – as soon as you can. - Charles William Day

People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what’s bitter and move on. - Bill Cosby

Food for Thought

'Soul mates’ are fiction and an illusion; and while every young man and young woman will seek with all diligence and prayerfulness to find a mate with whom life can be most compatible and beautiful, yet it is certain that almost any good man and any good woman can have happiness and a successful marriage if both are willing to pay the price. - Spencer W. Kimballc

A good, finished scandal, fully armed and equipped, such as circulates in the world, is rarely the production of a single individual, or even of a single coterie. It sees the light in one; is rocked and nurtured in another; is petted, developed, and attains its growth in a third; and receives its finishing touches only after passing through a multitude of hands. It is a child that can count a host of fathers – all ready to disown it. - Madame Swetchine

We can choose to function at a lower level of awareness and simply exist, caring for our possessions, eating, drinking, sleeping and managing in the world as pawns of the elements, or we can soar to new and higher levels of awareness allowing ourselves to transcend our environment and literally create a world of our own – a world of real magic. - Wayne W.

I wish more and more that health were studied half as much as disease is. Why, with all the endowment of research against cancer is no study made of those who are free from cancer?

And why never study animals in health and natural surroundings? why always sickened and in an environment of strangeness and artificiality? - Sarah N. Cleghorn
