Mode/science

Famous quotes containing the words mode and/or science:

“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
