“Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.”
“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”
“Science is often misrepresented as ‘the body of knowledge acquired by performing replicated controlled experiments in the laboratory.’ Actually, science is something broader: the acquisition of reliable knowledge about the world.”
“The steam engine has done much more for science than science has done for the steam engine.”
“A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.”
“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
