Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers. If you look at the results which science has brought in its train, you will find them to consist almost wholly in elements of mischief. See how much belongs to the word "Explosion" alone, of which the ancients knew nothing.
Arthur EddingtonFor the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal.
Arthur EddingtonWe often think that when we have completed our study of one we know all about two, because 'two' is 'one and one.' We forget that we still have to make a study of 'and.'
Arthur EddingtonThe pursuit of truth in science transcends national boundaries. It takes us beyond hatred and anger and fear. It is the best of us.
