“When religion talks about our aspirations and our sense of morality, I do not believe that science can contradict it. However, when religion contradicts science on matters of fact, religion must yield.”

“Our religion will not clash with nor contradict the facts of science in any particular.”

“A religion contradicting science and a science contradicting religion are equally false.”

“Literature, art, science, and religion degenerate when polemical struggle supplants the independent creation of ideas.”

“If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a mistake.”

“In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself - nature does it for you.”

“Enter no conflict against fanatics unless you can defuse them. Oppose a religion with another religion only if your proofs (miracles) are irrefutable or if you can mesh in a way that the fanatics accept you as god-inspired. This has long been the barrier to science assuming a mantle of divine revelation. Science is so obviously man-made. Fanatics (and many are fanatic on one subject or another) must know where you stand, but more important, must recognise who whispers in your ear." - Missionaria Protectiva, Primary Teaching.”
