To Pursue Science Is Not To Disparage

The Responsibility For The Creation Of New Scientific Knowledge - And For Most Of Its Application - Rests On That Small Body Of Men And Women Who Understand The Fundamental Laws Of Nature And Are Skilled In The Techniques Of Scientific Research. We Shall Have Rapid Or Slow Advance On Any Scientific Frontier Depending On The Number Of Highly Qualified And Trained Scientists Exploring It.

The Common Idea That Scientists Reject A Theory As Soon As It Leads To A Contradiction Is Just Not So. When They Get Something That Works At All They Plunge Ahead With It And Ignore Its Weak Spots... Scientists Are Just As Bad As The Rest Of The Public In Following Fads And Being Influenced By Mass Enthusiasm.

To Pursue Science Is Not To Disparage Things Of The Spirit.

If Scientific Reasoning Were Limited To The Logical Processes Of Arithmetic, We Should Not Get Very Far In Our Understanding Of The Physical World

Presumably Man's Spirit Should Be Elevated If He Can Better Review His Shady Past And Analyze More Completely And Objectively His Present Problems.
