The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions.
John Ruskin

All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.
Roger Bacon

The strongest arguments prove nothing so long as the conclusions are not verified by experience. Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.
Roger Bacon

Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know.
Bertrand Russell

Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.
Bertrand Russell

The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
Bertrand Russell

Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.
Bertrand Russell

The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.
William James

Man lives for science as well as bread.
William James

Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.
George Eliot

To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.
Isaac Newton

However far modern science and techniques have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson; nothing is impossible.
Lewis Mumford

The artist does not illustrate science (but) he frequently responds to the same interests that a scientist does.
Lewis Mumford

Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.
Will Durant

Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.
Will Durant

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.
Elbert Hubbard

The church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.
Elbert Hubbard

Actually, I majored in marketing and I have a bachelor of science.
Wanda Sykes

Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Thomas Carlyle

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
Thomas Carlyle
