Quote

Our emphasis on science has resulted in an alarming rise in world populations, the demand and ever-increasing emphasis of science to improve their standards and maintain their vigor. I have been forced to the conclusion that an over-emphasis of science weakens character and upsets life's essential balance.

Life without risks is not worth living.

Charles Lindbergh Aviator

I've had enough publicity for 15 lives.

Charles Lindbergh Aviator

In wilderness I sense the miracle of life.

Charles Lindbergh Aviator

Real freedom lies in wildness, not civilization.

Charles Lindbergh Aviator

But nature flies from the infinite; for the infinite is imperfect, and nature always seeks an end.

Aristotle Philosopher

While Newton seemed to draw off the veil from some of the mysteries of nature, he showed at the same time the imperfections of the mechanical philosophy; and thereby restored her ultimate secrets to that obscurity, in which they ever did and ever will remain.

David Hume Philosopher

The doctor is the servant and the interpreter of nature. Whatever he thinks or does, if he follows not in nature's footsteps he will never be able to control her.

Giorgio Baglivi Physician

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

H. L. Mencken Journalist

The neutral zone of selective advantage in the neighbourhood of zero is thus so narrow that changes in the environment, and in the genetic constitution of species, must cause this zone to be crossed and perhaps recrossed relatively rapidly in the course of evolutionary change, so that many possible gene substitutions may have a fluctuating history of advance and regression before the final balance of selective advantage is determined.

Ronald Fisher Statistician

[Vestiges begins] from principles which are at variance with all sober inductive truth. The sober facts of geology shuffled, so as to play a rogue's game; phrenology (that sinkhole of human folly and prating coxcombry); spontaneous generation; transmutation of species; and I know not what; all to be swallowed, without tasting and trying, like so much horse-physic!! Gross credulity and rank infidelity joined in unlawful marriage, and breeding a deformed progeny of unnatural conclusions!
