 By the worldly standards of public life, all scholars in their work are of course oddly virtuous. They do not make wild claims, they do not cheat, they do not try to persuade at any cost, they appeal neither to prejudice nor to authority, they are often frank about their ignorance, their disputes are fairly decorous, they do not confuse what is being argued with race, politics, sex or age, they listen patiently to the young and to the old who both know everything. These are the general virtues of scholarship, and they are peculiarly the virtues of science. |
| Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man. |
| Einstein was a man who could ask immensely simple questions. And what his work showed is that when the answers are simple too, then you can hear God thinking. |
| Every animal leaves traces of what it was; man alone leaves traces of what he created. |
| Every animal leaves traces of what it was; man alone leaves traces of what he created. |
| Has there ever been a society which has died of dissent? Several have died of conformity in our lifetime. |
| It doesn't matter whether you're talking about bombs or the intelligence quotients of one race as against another if a man is a scientist, like me, he'll always say "Publish and be damned." |
| It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it. |
| It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. |
| Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty. |
| Man is unique not because he does science, and his is unique not because he does art, but because science and art equally are expressions of his marvelous plasticity of mind. |
| Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature. |
| No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power. |
| Power is the by-product of understanding. |
| Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved. |
