Famous quotes containing the word science:

    The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.
    Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

    Nor has science sufficient humanity, so long as the naturalist overlooks the wonderful congruity which subsists between man and the world; of which he is lord, not because he is the most subtile inhabitant, but because he is its head and heart, and finds something of himself in every great and small thing, in every mountain stratum, in every new law of color, fact of astronomy, or atmospheric influence which observation or analysis lay open.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Man lives for science as well as bread.
    William James (1842–1910)
