Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “We receive the truths of science by compulsion. Nothing but ignorance is able to resist them.”
    —Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)

    “The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
