Every vital organization owes its birth and life to an exciting and daring idea.

Science advances, not by the accumulation of new facts, but by the continuous development of new concepts.

Whether a man lives or dies in vain can be measured only by the way he faces his own problems, by the success or failure of the inner conflict within his own soul. And of this no one may know save God.

Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.

Even the development of the steam engine owed but little to the advancement of science.

He who enters a university walks on hallowed ground.

Science emerges from the other progressive activities of man to the extent that new concepts arise from experiments and observations, and that the new concepts in turn lead to further experiments and observations.
