Scientific Knowledge

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or knowledge:

    Now, I hold it is not decent for a scientific gent
    To say another is an ass—at least, to all intent;
    Nor should the individual who happens to be meant
    Reply by heaving rocks at him to any great extent.
    Bret Harte (1836–1902)

    The difference between the actual and the ideal force of man is happily figured in by the schoolmen, in saying, that the knowledge of man is an evening knowledge, vespertina cognitio, but that of God is a morning knowledge, matutina cognitio.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
