- Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
- Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
- Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error. The strong and virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides; in heaven God watches. And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other.
- Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803 - 1873)
- Senescent judges show how patriotic they are by passing out hard sentences for tearing up a draft card or following one's conscience according to the principles established by our country at the Nuremburg trials.
- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893 - 1986), The Crazy Ape
- In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time someting like that happened in politics or religion.
- Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996), 1987 CSICOP Keynote Address
- Science is good furniture for one's upper chamber, if there is common sense below.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894)
- There is one thing alone
that stands the brunt of life throughout its course: a quiet conscience. - Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC), Hippolytus, 428 B.C.
- There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
- Hippocrates (460 BC - 377 BC), Law
- There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser so terrible as the conscience that dwells in the heart of every man.
- Polybius (205 BC - 118 BC), History
- Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), "Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium", 1941
- In science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not the man to whom the idea first occurs.
- Sir Francis Darwin (1848 - 1925), Eugenics Review, April 1914
