The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

Science is incompetent to reason upon the creation of matter itself out of nothing. We have reached the utmost limit of our thinking faculties when we have admitted that because matter cannot be eternal and self-existent it must have been created.

It is mere rubbish thinking, at present, of origin of life; one might as well think of origin of matter.

I'm one of those people that think Thomas Edison and the light bulb changed the world more than Karl Marx ever did.

Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.
