Knowledge is power.
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority. If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties. A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. The job of the scientist is to see the world as it is, not as we would like it to be. Knowledge is the foundation of all human progress. Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. The human understanding is like a false mirror. The advancement of learning is the advancement of the human race. |
