Science Brings Men Nearer To God.

We Affirm The Neutrality Of Science ... Science Is Of No Country. ... But If Science Has No Country, The Scientist Must Keep In Mind All That May Work Towards The Glory Of His Country. In Every Great Scientist Will Be Found A Great Patriot.

Without Theory, Practice Is But Routine Born Of Habit. Theory Alone Can Bring Forth And Develop The Spirit Of Invention. ... [do Not] Share The Opinion Of Those Narrow Minds Who Disdain Everything In Science Which Has Not An Immediate Application. ... A Theoretical Discovery Has But The Merit Of Its Existence: It Awakens Hope, And That Is All. But Let It Be Cultivated, Let It Grow, And You Will See What It Will Become.

To Know How To Wonder And Question Is The First Step Of The Mind Toward Discovery.

Worship The Spirit Of Criticism. If Reduced To Itself It Is Not An Awakener Of Ideas Or A Stimulant To Great Things, But, Without It, Everything Is Fallible; It Always Has The Last Word.

To Bring One's Self To Believe In A Truth That Has Just Dawned Upon One Is The First Step Towards Progress; To Persuade Others Is The Second.
