I think that the results which each man arrives at in his attempts to harmonise his science with his Christianity ought not to be regarded as having any significance except to the man himself, and to him only for a time, and should not receive the stamp of a society. For it is in the nature of science, especifally those branches of science which are spreading into unknown regions, to be continually changing.

Science seems ready to confer upon us, as its final gift, the power to erase human life from this planet.

All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers.

It was a great step in science when men became convinced that, in order to understand the nature of things, they must begin by asking, not whether a thing is good or bad, noxious or beneficial, but of what kind it is.

No human investigation can be called real science if it cannot be demonstrated mathematically.

Science is the century-old endeavour to bring together... perceptible phenomena... through systematic thought.
