Famous quotes containing the words general and/or science:

    “He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.”
    —Olympia Brown (1835–1900)

    “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)
