Whenever you note the time on the clock, realize that it is now—right now—later than it has ever been.

Kenneth Franklin

Vannevar Bush has said that there is no more thrilling experience for a man than to be able to state that he has learned something no other person in the world has ever known before him. … I have been lucky enough to be included in such an event.

Kenneth Franklin

At times the [radio telescope] records exhibited a feature characteristic of interference, occurring some time later than the passage of the two known sources. This intermittent feature was curious, and I recall saying once that we would have to investigate the origin of that interference some day. We joked that it was probably due to the faulty ignition of some farm hand returning from a date.

Kenneth Franklin

No problem is so formidable that you can't walk away from it.

Charles M. Schulz Cartoonist

Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well. On the other hand, when they split up knowledge, concentrate on their own field, and scorn and ignore other fields, they grow less wise - even in their own field.

Isaac Asimov Author

Science enhances the moral value of life, because it furthers a love of truth and reverence-love of truth displaying itself in the constant endeavor to arrive at a more exact knowledge of the world of mind and matter around us, and reverence, because every advance in knowledge brings us face to face with the mystery of our own being.

Max Planck Physicist

Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature.

Michael Faraday Scientist

Nothing is accomplished all at once, and it is one of my great maxims, and one of the most completely verified, that Nature makes no leaps: a maxim which I have called the law of continuity.

Gottfried Leibniz Mathematician

The great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

Isaac Newton Physicist

Science is competitive, aggressive, demanding. It is also imaginative, inspiring, uplifting.

Vera Rubin Astronomer
