Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In the new science of the twenty-first century, not physical force but spiritual force will lead the way. Mental and spiritual gifts will be more in demand than gifts of a physical nature. Extrasensory perception will take precedence over sensory perception. And in this sphere woman will again predominate.”
    —Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)

    “No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.”
    —Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)
