science

"Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century."

"Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art."

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."

"False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness."

"Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature."

"Reason, observation, and experience the holy trinity of science."
